tominn.

Brit.

/tə(ʊ)ˈmiːn/, U.S.

/toʊˈmin/,

/təˈmin/

Forms: 1500s tomynes (plural), 1600s–1800s tomin, 1600s– tomines (plural), 1900s– tomín.

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish tomín.

Etymology: < Spanish (now hist.) tomín unit of weight for precious metals (15th cent.), any of various small silver coins (1577 or earlier) < an unattested (perhaps spoken) Arabic form *ṯumin , variant (with epenthetic vowel) of Arabic ṯumn eighth part < ṯamāniya eight. The Spanish form was perhaps influenced by Spanish nouns ending in -ín -ine suffix¹.In use denoting a coin originally so called because it was worth one eighth of a peso (and so equivalent to a real). In use denoting a unit of weight so called because it was, for gold, equivalent to one eighth of a castellano. In plural form tomines after the Spanish plural form.

Now historical.
