mathomn.

Brit.

/ˈmað(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˈmæðəm/

Forms: Old English madm, Old English maþm, Old English maðm, Old English maþþum, Old English maþðum, Old English maðþum, Old English maððum, Old English maþum, late Old English madme, 1900s– mathom. Plural Old English madmas, Old English maþmas, Old English–early Middle English maðmas, late Old English–early Middle English madmes, early Middle English maddmess ( Ormulum), early Middle English mahmes (transmission error), early Middle English mamdmæs (transmission error), early Middle English maðmes, early Middle English mayþenes (transmission error), 1900s– mathoms.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with Old Saxon mēðom (masculine) precious thing, a treasure, Old Icelandic meiðmar (feminine plural) valuables, Gothic maiþms (masculine) gift, ultimately < the Indo-European base of classical Latin mūtāre to exchange (see mutate v.).The inclusion of Middle High German meidem stallion, gelding, among the Germanic cognates of this word, as in N.E.D. (1904) s.v. madme, is disputed. Only found in the plural in Middle English. The word was playfully revived in a slightly different sense (see sense 2) in the 20th. cent. by J. R. R. Tolkien.

†1. A precious thing, a treasure, a valuable gift. Obsolete.
