köken: ilm- + -e. Originally coined by Wolmar Schildt in 1837 with the meaning "expression" (as in expression of an idea); the modern sense is first found in Johan Hahnsson et al.: Ruotsalais-suomalainen sanakirja ("Swedish-Finnish Dictionary", 1899). Compare ilmetä, ilmiö.
köken: From Old Norse svipr (“quick movement; expression; moment; loss”). Cognate with Norwegian Nynorsk and Danish svip (“appearance”), Swedish svep (“moment”). Possibly from Proto-Germanic *swipaz (with change of inflection) and cognate with English (dialectal) swip (“exact image”), and Middle High German swif (“quick movement”).
