"Qualm" meaning in German

See Qualm in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kvalm/, [kʋalm], [kv̥alm] Audio: De-Qualm.ogg
Etymology: 16th century, from Middle Low German quallem (“vapor, steam, smoke”). Cognate with Dutch kwalm. Usually considered a derivative of quellen (“to well, swell up”). Alternatively with the common Low and Central German development dw-, tw- → qu- (as in quer, Quark etc.) from Old Saxon dwalm (“benumbment, bemusement”), cognate of Old High German twalm, Old English dwolma. Further from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeuə- (“spray, swirl, whirl”). However, the documented meanings seem to speak against this.
