Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Κληρονομήθηκε από Μέσα Αγγλικά: *mime

Κληρονομήθηκε από Παλαιά Αγγλικά: mīma

In summary

Possibly from Middle English *mime, from Old English mīma (“a buffoon, jester, mime”), from Latin mimus, from Ancient Greek μῖμος (mîmos, “imitator, actor”), but more likely re-borrowed in modern times from French mime (“mimic actor”), from the same source.
