Etymology

edit

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gem- (“to grasp”), whence Ancient Greek γέμω (gémō, “to be full”), Ancient Greek γόμος (gómos, “load; cargo”), Lithuanian gùmstu (“to grasp”).[1] The semantic shift would be something like "to grasp, press" > "to take one's fill" > "to groan, moan (from eating too much)".

However, De Vaan notes that this series of semantic shifts is quite unlikely, and prefers Vine's theory deriving the word from a Proto-Indo-European *genH- (“to call”) (with replacement of *-n > -m on the model of semantically similar verbs like fremō (“to roar”) and tremō (“to tremble”)), whence Ancient Greek γέγωνᾰ (gégōnă, “to shout”), Tocharian A ken- (“to call”).[2]

Verb

gemō (present infinitive gemere, perfect active gemuī, supine gemitum); third conjugation

  1. to sigh, groan
    Synonyms: ingemō, ingemīscō
    • 21 BCE, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, Epistularum liber primus (First Book of Letters): 15:
      ...sānē murtēta relinquī dictaque cessantem nervīs ēlīdere morbum sulfura contemnī vīcus gemit, invidus aegrīs, quī caput et stomachum suppōnere fontibus audent Clūsīnīs Gabiōsque petunt et frīgida rūra.
      Of course the town murmurs at its myrtle-groves being deserted, and its sulphur baths despised, so famous for driving a lingering disorder from the sinews, and takes offence at invalids who dare to plunge head and stomach under the showers from Clusium's springs, or who repair to Gabii and its cold ocuntry-side.
  2. (of things) to creak
  3. to bemoan, lament
    Synonyms: dēplōrō, ingemō, lūgeō, plangō, queror, conqueror, plōrō, fleō
