Forms: Also 1700s chumm.

Etymology: Recorded only since c1684. A well-known conjecture is that it was a familiar abbreviation of chamber-fellow, chamber-mate, or the like. But no historical proof or connecting link has been found.

Now colloquial.

a. One who shares apartments with another or others, one who lodges or resides in the same room or rooms: ‘a chamber-fellow, a term used in the universities’ (Johnson); also, more generally, a habitual companion, an associate, an intimate friend.
