Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Iranian *čam- (to walk), perhaps a blend of Proto-Iranian *čarH- (to come and go, wander) and *gam- (to come), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *čálH- (to move, wander) + Proto-Indo-European *gʷem- (to step, come) respectively.[1] Compare Baluchi چمگ (čamag, to shake, dance), Parthian [script needed] (cm-, to walk, move), Khotanese [script needed] (tcāma-, leaping insect, grasshopper), Old Armenian ճեմ (čem, walk) (an Iranian borrowing), and perhaps Sanskrit चमूरु (camūru, a kind of deer, an antelope).
