köken: Inherited from Middle French écume, escume, from Old French escume (“froth, foam”), from Frankish *skūm (“froth, foam”), possibly via Vulgar Latin *scūma (compare Medieval Latin scuma), from Proto-Germanic *skūmaz (“foam”). Compare the rare Old French espume (“foam”), from Latin spūma (“foam, froth, slime”), which some sources hypothesise may have merged with or influenced the Germanic term,…
köken: Might come from Old Iranian *ham-pauγa- or *ham-pūγa- and be the Iranian correspondence of Sanskrit पूग (pūga, “multitude”), Ardhamagadhi Prakrit 𑀧𑀽𑀳 (pūha, “crowd”) (compare Ancient Greek πῡγή (pūgḗ, “buttocks”)). Related to Old Armenian ամբոխ (ambox), an Iranian borrowing.

köken: From Old Swedish damb, dåm (“dust, steam”). Akin to Low German damp, Dutch damp, and Danish damp (“vapor, steam, fog”), German Dampf, Icelandic dampi, English damp (“moderately wet”), and to German dampf imperative of dimpfen (“to smoke”). Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *dampaz.
