"ざます" meaning in Japanese

See ざます in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: [d͡za̠ma̠sɨᵝ]
Etymology: There are two leading theories for derivation. * From おざんす (ozansu) or ざんす (zansu, “to be”, humble): /ozansu/ → /zansu/ → /zamasu/ * From ござります (gozarimasu, archaic form of modern ございます (gozaimasu, “to be”, humble)): /ɡozarimasu/ → */ɡozamasu/ → /zamasu/ Considering that zamasu is first cited to 1761, while ozansu is not cited until 1778 and zansu in 1787, and considering also the odd sound shift required from zansu to zamasu, the derivation directly from ござります (gozarimasu) appears more likely. That said, ozansu and zansu are also derivatives of ござります (gozarimasu).

That said, ozansu and zansu are also derivatives of ござります (gozarimasu).",
