editEtymology
editInherited from Middle French [Term?], from Old French -omes, -umes (first-person plural present indicative ending), of obscure and disputed origin. Possibly derived from the Frankish termination *-ōmēs, *-umēs (first-person plural present indicative ending),[1] from Proto-Germanic *-ōmaz, *-amaz, related to Old High German -ōmēs, -umēs, Old Norse -um, Gothic -𐌿𐌼 (-um), -𐌰𐌼 (-am). Compare Occitan -èm, -am, -im, -em; Latin -āmus, -ēmus, -imus, -īmus. If French has directly inherited the Latin first-person plural ending, one would expect *-ens, *-eins, *-mes, and *-ins.
