teimlo

Welsh

Etymology

Appears to be ultimately derived from Proto-Celtic *ta(n)xsman (touch, noun) or similar, from Proto-Indo-European *téh₂gsmn̥, from the root *teh₂g- (to touch), and so cognate with Latin tango.[1] Compare especially Latin contaminō (I bring into contact, touch; to contaminate), derived from an abstract noun *tāmen (contact, touch), which would be cognate with the Celtic.

This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
