Latin[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *am-a-, *am- (“mother, aunt”), a lost nursery-word of the papa-type. Compare amita (“aunt”), Old High German amma (“nurse”). Alternatively, Olav Hackstein and Michiel De Vaan suggest Proto-Indo-European *h₂emh₃- (“to seize, to take hold”) in this manner: Latin amare "to love, to be fond of" < "to regard as a friend" < "to take by the hand", from Proto-Italic *amāō (“to take hold”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂emh₃- (“to seize, to take hold”).
