Etymology: A similar word for "onion" and "garlic" is found in Proto-West Germanic *hramusō (“onion, garlic”), Proto-Slavic *čermъša (“ramson”) and Middle Irish crim (“garlic”), suggesting a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *kermus- (“wild garlic”). The e-vowel of Celtic and Balto-Slavic is also found in the placename Κρεμμυών (Kremmuṓn).
