köken: From Ancient Greek βασανίζω (basanízō, “to examine, to investigate, put to the test”), from βάσανος (básanos, “touchstone”) + -ίζω (-ízō, “verbal suffix”), literally “to test with touchstone”. The modern sense of "torture" developed from the association of investigations and inquisitions of prisoners with physical tortures.
köken: Probably from Latin cyma, from Ancient Greek κῦμα (kûma, “swell, wave, billow”). The meaning was probably derived from the swellings from diseases such as the bubonic plague. Compare also Aromanian ciumã (“peak, summit”), which has a meaning shared by most other Romance languages, and Albanian qime.
köken: From Proto-Italic *klādēs, from Proto-Indo-European *kl̥h₂d-, from *kelh₂- (“to beat, break”). Cognate with Proto-Celtic *kladiwos, Ancient Greek κλάδος (kládos), Proto-Balto-Slavic *kálˀtei (“to beat”) (compare Lithuanian kálti (“to hammer”), Old Church Slavonic клати (klati, “to stab”)), Old English hild (“war, battle”). Related to Latin percellō, procella.
