Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle Dutch: schemeren

In summary

From Middle Dutch schemeren, from a West Germanic frequentative of Proto-Germanic *skimō (“shadow, spectre”), related to *skīnaną (“to shine”). The -m- probably goes back to an old Proto-Indo-European abstract noun-forming suffix *-mo-, similar to *helmaz.
