[kae̯.rɪˈmoː.ni.a]

Uncertain. * The word formally matches Sanskrit कर्मन् (kárman, “action, deed; karma”), as if both were from Proto-Indo-European *kʷermon-, itself an abstract noun formed from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do, make”). * According to De Vaan, it's a derivation from the unattested adjective *caerus + -mōnia also found as the second part of the compound sincērus (“whole, sound”); however, if so, the expected outcome of the latter would be *sincīrus. * Roman folk etymology held this word as coming from the name of the city of Caere.
