Uncertain. The -b- is most likely epenthetic to avoid the -mr- cluster. Theories that have put forward are:
# Akin to Arbëresh zë (“soul”). Compare Romanian inimă (“heart”), from Latin anima (“soul”), which is the only other Indo-European language to have supplanted the original Proto-Indo-European *ḱḗr ~ *ḱr̥dés. The morphemes involved and the ultimate etymology are not clear. Some proposals have been put forward:
## From the verb zë／zâ (“to seize”), although this has been doubted.
## Has been compared with Ancient Greek εὐθηνέω (euthēnéō, “to thrive, bloom”), itself of unclear origin.
# Linked with Proto-Germanic *gamaną (“companion; fun”) to a tentative root Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰem- (“to move violently”), although this is very dubious.
# A connection with Ancient Greek ῑ̔́μερος (hī́meros, “yearning, love”) is phonetically unlikely.
Similarity with Ottoman Turkish ضمیر (zamir, “interior part; heart”) is coincidental.
