köken: From Middle High German gemein, from Old High German gimeini, from Proto-West Germanic *gamainī. Cognate with Old English gemǣne, English mean, Dutch gemeen, Danish gemen, Swedish gemen and Norwegian gemen.

However, 15th century attestations of ᄂᆞᆽ다 (nocta) only appear in the sense "to subside (of a swelling)". The sense "to be low" only appears since the 1570s, which suggests that it is a back-formation from ᄂᆞᄌᆞᆨᄒᆞ다…

köken: From humus + -ilis. The resemblance to Ancient Greek χθαμαλός (khthamalós) is cognate, but probably accidental, and not sufficient to assume a direct inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *dʰǵʰemelo- (a derivative from *dʰéǵʰōm (“earth”)). Compare also Middle English dingle (“depression, hollow”) (from Old English *dyngel).
