Inflections: Plural unchanged, dim sums.

Forms:

α. 1800s tem sum, 1900s– deem sum, 1900s– dim sum, 1900s– dim-sum, 1900s– tim-sam, 1900s– tim sum, 1900s– tim-sum, 1900s– tim-sun.

Origin: A borrowing from Cantonese. Etymon: Chinese dím sām.

Etymology: < Chinese (Cantonese) dím sām (corresponding to Mandarin diǎnxin; already in Middle Chinese).Variation between initial d- and t- reflects variation in the perception (by English speakers) of Cantonese pronunciation, which does not distinguish between a voiced and voiceless initial dental. The β. forms are apparently influenced by the vowel of a regional (Taishan) pronunciation of the Cantonese word. Compare the following earlier passage, which apparently shows the Cantonese word in an English context (with a slightly different sense):1874 San Francisco Call 27 June in Inter Ocean (Chicago) 6 July 6/5 The appetizer consists of plums, cherries, bananas, Tim Sim (sweet meats), Sang Quor (dried fruit), [etc.]

In Chinese cuisine (as a mass noun): a light meal or dish consisting of a selection of small, usually savoury, steamed or fried filled dumplings, steamed buns, pieces of cooked meat, etc.; food of this type. Also (and in earliest use) as a count noun: one of the small dumplings, buns, etc., served in this way.In China, dim sum is traditionally eaten with hot tea in the morning or early afternoon (cf. yum cha n.), but is now often served throughout the day and in the evening in restaurants in the West.Evidence of English use is hard to find before the second half of the 20th cent., however quots. 1894 and 1908 refer to dishes served in Chinese restaurants in Washington and New York.
