𐍅𐌰𐍂𐌼𐌾𐌰𐌽

Gothic

FWOTD – 7 March 2023

Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *warmijaną. In the sense of "cherish", possibly a semantic loan from Koine Greek θάλπω (thálpō, “to warm, to care for, to cherish”). May be distantly related to Koine Greek θερμαίνω (thermaínō, “to warm, heat”), which it otherwise translates.

Pronunciation
