Etymology 1
editFrom Middle English ȝarmen, ȝermen, from Old English ġyrman, ġierman (“to cry, mourn, cry out, roar, lament”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *jarmijan, from Proto-Germanic *jarmijaną, *jarmōną (“to bellow, bleat”). Cognate with Scots yirm (“to whine, wail”), dialectal Danish jærme (“to lament, shriek”), dialectal Norwegian jerme (“to bleat”), dialectal Swedish jarma (“to lament, shriek”), Icelandic jarma (“to whine, complain, bleat”). Compare Albanian jerm (“to rave, be delirious”). Compare English yammer.
