Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Compare later gumption n., rummlegumption n. Sc. National Dict. (at cited word) suggests a derivation < a variant of the Scots intensifying prefix ram- (see ramgunshoch adj.) + gumption n. (although this is first attested later). However, it is not clear whether rum- can be identified with the more common prefix ram- . It is possible that the word may be shortened < rummlegumption n. (although that word is first attested later), perhaps after ram- (in e.g. rambarre v., ramforce v.). Perhaps compare also rumbullion n.¹, rumbustion n.

Scottish and English regional (northern).

Good sense; shrewdness.
