cremor

Disputed; possibly one of the following: * From Proto-Indo-European *ḱr̥h₃-m- (“porridge, soup”) (compare Proto-Celtic *kurmi (“beer”), Proto-Slavic *kъrmъ (“food, fodder”), Sanskrit करम्भ (karambhá, “groats, gruel”)) * From Proto-Indo-European *ḱh₁erh₂- (“to mix”) (compare Ancient Greek κεράννυμι (keránnumi)) * Per M. de Vaan, derived from the verb crem- (“to burn”), possibly from the same root as carbō (“charcoal”); he also considers Celtic *kurmi a potential cognate.
