Russian
Alternative forms
- россома́ха (rossomáxa)
Etymology
Inherited from Middle Russian росома́ха (rosomáxa), россома́ха (rossomáxa), attested from early 17th c.[1]; росома́ка (rosomáka), россома́ка (rossomáka), росома́къ m (rosomák), attested from middle 16th c.[2] Further etymology unclear.
Per Trubachev, possibly a taboo metathesis from соромаха, still present in some Ukrainian dialects, from hypothetical Proto-Slavic form *sormaxa, therefore cognate with Proto-Germanic *harmô, Latvian sermulis and Lithuanian šarmuõ, šermuõ, šermuonė̃lis.
