Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: hummen

Affine olandese: hommelen

Affine olandese: hommen

Affine tedesco medio alto: hummen

In summary

From Middle English hummen (“to hum, buzz, drone, make a murmuring sound to cover embarrassment”); akin to Dutch hommelen (“to bumble, buzz”), dialectal Dutch hommen (“to buzz, hum”), Middle High German hummen (“to hum”), probably ultimately of imitative origin.
