Romani
Etymology
Three etymologies have been proposed:[1]
- Inherited from Sanskrit काम (kāma, “love, desire”).
- Borrowed from Middle Persian [script needed] (kām-am).
- Borrowed from Old Armenian կամ-իմ (kam-im) (itself an Iranian borrowing).
All three are ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂- (“to desire, wish”).
