Etymology of GEMMED

The word gemmed is formed from the noun gem combined with the past participle suffix -ed.

The noun gem originated from the Old French word gemme, which was borrowed from the Latin word gemma, meaning precious stone or jewel. In Latin, gemma specifically referred to buds or shoots in plants.
