Etymology

Came into English via Middle English toom, tom, which developed from Old English tōm ("empty"), itself from Proto-West Germanic *tōm(ī), from Proto-Germanic *tōm(ij)az ("free, available, empty"), from Proto-Indo-European *doma- ("to tame"), *dema- ("to build"). It is cognate with Danish and Swedish tom ("empty, vacant") and Icelandic tómur ("empty").
