Etymology

Unknown. Perhaps from a diminutive or derivative of Proto-West Germanic *hamirā (“hellebore”), with which Liberman compares Proto-Slavic *čemerъ (“false hellebore”), also used to describe venom or poison caused by this plant, from Proto-Indo-European *kemer-. The closest Germanic cognates are German Low German Hemer, Hemern and German Hemere (“hellebore”).
