Middle English comelinge, Middle English comelyng, Middle English comelynge, Middle English comlyng, Middle English comlynge, Middle English commeling, Middle English commelyng, Middle English commlyng, Middle English cumbling (northern), Middle English cumelyng, Middle English cumling, Middle English cumlinge, Middle English cumlyng, Middle English cumlynge, Middle English komelyng, Middle English komelynge, Middle English komlyng, Middle English kumeling, Middle English 1600s cumeling, Middle English–1500s comling, Middle English– comeling; English regional 1800s cumlin (Yorkshire); Scottish pre-1700 cumlyne, 1800s cumlin.

β. Middle English kemelyng, Middle English kymlynge, 1800s kimling (English regional (Dorset)); N.E.D. (1891) also records a form early Middle English kymeling.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old High German komeling stranger (also -kumiling , in zuokumiling ; Middle High German komelinc newcomer) < the Germanic base of come n.1 or come v. + the Germanic base of -ling suffix1.In Germanic, -ling suffix1 was not normally combined with verbs (examples appear to be very rare and allow of alternative explanations). With the possible derivation from come n.1, compare Old Icelandic komumaðr newcomer, guest < koma arrival. A wider currency of the word in West Germanic languages is suggested by derivatives (from prefixed verbs) that are likely ultimately to have been modelled on unprefixed forms cognate with comeling n.; compare e.g. Old Frisian neikumeling descendant (compare neikuma to follow), Middle Dutch nacomelinc descendant (Dutch nakomeling ; compare Old Dutch nākuman to follow), toecomelinc stranger (compare toecomen : see tocome v.), Middle Low German tokomelink stranger (compare tokomen : see tocome v.). Compare also German Ankömmling newcomer, Nachkömmling descendant, etc., and (after various prefixed forms in German) Swedish ankomling newcomer, stranger (18th cent.), efterkomling descendant (17th cent.), Danish afkomling descendant (19th cent.). Compare new comeling n., out-comeling n. Compare Old English cuma and the Germanic parallels cited at comer n. In α. forms showing levelling of the stem vowel to that of come v. (compare β. forms at come n.1 and discussion at that entry). Earlier currency is implied by post-classical Latin cumelingus, kimelingus stray animal (frequently from early 13th cent. in British sources; < Middle English).
1. An animal that joins a new herd, or attaches itself to a strange person or place. Obsolete (Scottish in later use).
