Etimología (Inglés)

From Proto-Indo-European *tēmH- (“intoxication; unconscious”), itself derived from *temH- (“dark”), likely referring to the hazy "blackout" state one encounters when intoxicated, or perhaps the dark color of intoxicating beverages like wine. Cognate with Sanskrit ताम्यति (tāmyati, “to be suffocated, exhausted”), Armenian թմրել (tʻmrel, “to become stunned, numb”), German dämlich (“very stupid”); see also tenebrae.
