Etymology
1. "abound, swarm," O.E.
teman (Mercian),
tieman (W.Saxon) "give birth to, produce," from P.Gmc.
*taumijanan, from PIE
*deuk- "to lead" (see duke). Related to team in its now-obsolete O.E. sense of "family, brood of young animals." The meaning "be fertile, abound, swarm" is first recorded 1593;
teeming in this sense is from 1715.
2. From Middle English temen (“to bear, to support”), from Anglian Old English tēman (“to give birth”) (West Saxon Old English tīeman), from Proto-West Germanic *taumijan (“to bridle”), from Proto-Germanic *taumijaną, from *taumaz ("bridle", continued in Modern English as team). See: Middle English '
temen', Proto-Germanic '
*taumijaną'.
