Etymology of HUMMED

The word "hummed" is derived from the Middle English word "homen" which meant to make a low, continuous sound like a bee. The Old English root for this word was "humian", which also referred to a similar buzzing or murmuring sound. The etymology can be traced back further to the Proto-Germanic word "humijaną" and the Proto-Indo-European root "ḱem-" which meant to roar or boom. Over time, the word "homen" evolved into "hummen" in Middle English before eventually becoming "hum" in modern English. Through regular verb conjugation, "hum" turned into "hummed" to indicate the past tense and past participle form of the word.
