zeamă¹

  • /ˈze̯amə/

Where it comes from

It could be directly inherited from Latin zema (“saucepan”). However, it is more likely that the word is from Ancient Greek ζέμα (zéma, “decoction, something boiled or fermented; extract; essence”), through a Vulgar Latin intermediate *zema. The current meaning in Eastern Romance is closer to that of the original Greek word than to the attested Latin term.

Compare Aromanian dzamã.
