公元前1200年, tumbe,14世纪初, tomb,源自盎格鲁-法语 tumbe,直接源自古法语 tombe “墓,纪念碑,墓碑”(12世纪),源自晚期拉丁语 tumba(也是意大利语 tomba,西班牙语 tumba 的来源),源自希腊语 tymbos “土堆,坟墓”,通常指“坟墓,墓地”。
沃特金斯(Watkins)认为它可能来自 PIE 词根 *teue- “膨胀”,但比克斯(Beekes)写道,它可能是一个前希腊(非 IE)词。他写道,拉丁语 tumulus “土丘”和亚美尼亚语 t'umb “垃圾填埋场,土墙”“可能包含相同的前希腊/地中海词”,并进一步提出与中古爱尔兰语 tomm “小山丘”,中威尔士语 tom “粪便,土堆”有关联。
最后的 -b 在拼写转换时开始变得沉默(比较 lamb, dumb)。现代法语 tombeau 来自于通俗拉丁语的小型 *tumbellus。俚语“The Tombs”指“纽约市监狱”,记录于1840年。
