From Akkadian 𒋻𒄷 (TAR.MUŠ₈ /⁠tarmuš⁠/), from Sumerian 𒋻𒄷 (TAR.MUŠ₈ /⁠tarmuš⁠/). Cognate to Coptic ⲑⲁⲣⲙⲟⲩⲥ (tharmous), Aramaic תורמוסא / ܬܘܪܡܣܐ (tūrmūsā, “lupine”), Arabic تُرْمُس (turmus). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)

An alternative theory by Stromberg (favored by Beekes) considers the word a nominalization of Etymology 1, with regular accent shift.^[2]
