Etymology
1. c.1275, from Anglo-Fr.
tumbe, O.Fr.
tombe (12c.), from L.L.
tumba (cf. It.
tomba, Fr.
tombe, Sp.
tumba), from Gk.
tymbos "burial mound, grave, tomb," from PIE base
*teu- "to swell" (see thigh). The final
-b began to be silent 14c. (cf. lamb, dumb).
The Tombs, slang for "New York City prison" is recorded from 1840. A
tombstone (1565) originally was a horizontal stone covering a grave (or the lid of a stone coffin); meaning "gravestone, headstone" is attested from 1711.
2. From Middle English tombe, toumbe, borrowed from Old French tombe, from Latin tumba from Ancient Greek τύμβος (túmbos, “a sepulchral mound, tomb, grave”), probably from Proto-Indo-European *tewh₂- (“to swell”). Displaced native Old English þrūh.
3. The verb is from Middle English tomben. See: Middle English '
tomben'.
