Etymology: Common West Germanic: Old English éam = Old Frisian êm (Middle Dutch oem , Dutch oom ), Old High German ôheim (Middle High German ôheim , œheim , -hein , modern German oheim , ohm ); if the word existed in Old Germanic the type would be *auhaimo-z ; presumed to be a compound or derivative of *awo-z = Latin avus grandfather (of which the Latin avunculus , uncle, is a diminutive). It is believed that the original sense of the West Germanic word was ‘mother's brother’ (compare Latin avunculus ); but in later use it is applied to a father's brother as well.

Obsolete exc. dialect.
