Etimoloji (İngilizce)

In summary

Etymology tree Proto-West Germanic *rūm Old English rūm Middle English roum English room From Middle English roum, from Old English rūm (“room, space”), from Proto-West Germanic *rūm (“room”), from Proto-Germanic *rūmą (“room”), from Proto-Indo-European *(H)rewH-. Cognate with Low German Ruum (“space, room”), Dutch ruim (“cargo load”), German Raum (“space, room”), Danish rum (“space, locality”), Norwegian rom (“space”), Swedish rum (“space, location”), and also with Latin rūs (“country, field, farm”) through Indo-European; more at rural. Doublet of Raum, a surname from German. The word superficially appears to be an exception to the Great Vowel Shift, which might have produced the pronunciation /ɹaʊm/, but the retention of Middle English /uː/ before /m/ is regular. In fact, /aʊ/ does not occur before non-coronal consonants in Standard Modern English native vocabulary. Some dialects did undergo diphthongization in such position and the pronunciation /ɹaʊm/ occurs, for example, in Lancashire.
