Etimologia (Anglès)

From Proto-Italic *termenos, from Proto-Indo-European *térmn̥ (“boundary”). Cognate with Ancient Greek τέρμα (térma, “a goal”), τέρμων (térmōn, “a border”). Synchronically a thematicized variant of the rare synonym termen, which was directly inherited from the PIE word, and so equivalent to termen + -us. The synonym termō is, like Ancient Greek τέρμων (térmōn), from the collective form *térmō.
