[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Compare German zähmen. Likely still inherited from Middle High German zemen, Old High German zemmen, Proto-West Germanic *tammjan and ultimately Proto-Germanic *tamjaną, however the Yiddish form appears to have lost the umlaut, possibly influenced by Middle High German zam (cf. German zahm). Related to צאַם (tsam).
Verb
[edit]צאַמען • (tsamen) (past participle געצאַמט (getsamt))
- (imperfective) to tame, to curb, to restrain, to subdue
