Etymology
16th century, of uncertain origin. Cognate with Middle Low German hump (“heap, lump”), Dutch homp (“chunk, gobbet”), English hump, all possibly from a Proto-West Germanic *hump. Within High German it was originally restricted to the colonial dialects (i.e. East Central German), which might suggest a borrowing from the Middle Low German form (though the -mp- is regular). As none of the Germanic words is attested before 1550, any further derivation must remain tentative; but one compares Ancient Greek κύμβη (kúmbē), Middle Irish comm. See: Dutch Nouns '
homp', English Nouns '
hump', Ancient Greek Nouns '
κύμβη'.
