Origin: A borrowing from Sanskrit. Etymons: Sanskrit oṁ, om, oṃ.

Etymology: < Sanskrit oṁ (later also as om and, before consonants, as oṃ), sacred syllable and evocation of the infinite, also used as a word of assent. In sense 2 after Sanskrit oṃkāra om syllable (lit. ‘om-making’). Compare earlier Om mani padme hum n.In Vedic Sanskrit, oṁ was a long nasalized vowel, without any following m sound, and as such was thought of as pure, ‘unstruck’ sound, containing all origination and dissolution. It first appears in the Upanishads and is the main subject of one of them, the Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad, where it is described as encompassing the four states of consciousness. According to later, classical Hindu thought, om is composed of three sounds, a, u, and m, interpreted as representing the three most important gods, Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma, and a fourth element, which is silence.

Hinduism and Buddhism.

1. A sacred syllable or invocation traditionally uttered at the beginning and end of prayer and meditation; also as int. Also (rare): perfection, a higher plane or state of existence.
