  "etymology_text": "From Old Latin osmen, of uncertain origin, with many origins proposed:\n* Ancient authors derived it from ōs (“mouth”).\n* Derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to see, perceive”) (whence audiō) or from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to perceive”), whence Ancient Greek οἴομαι (oíomai, “I think, believe, suppose”).\n* Per Beneviste and Oettinger, connected to Hittite [script needed] (hā-ᶻᶦ, “to believe, trust”) via a supposed Proto-Indo-European *h₂e/oh₃-s-mn (“trust”). De Vaan considers this semantically unconvincing.\n* Per De Vaan (who doubts the authenticity of the Old Latin form osmen), most likely from Proto-Italic *okʷsmn- (“sighting, omen”), from an s-present form of Proto-Indo-European *h₃ekʷ- (“to see; eye”) + *-men (whence -men).\n* An alternative theory by Meier-Brügger derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *Hoǵ-smen (“speech, what was predicted”), from an o-grade of Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵ- (“to say”) (whence aiō (“id”)). This is semantically attractive, but requires the existence of the otherwise unattested-in-Latin o-grade of aiō, as well as an atypical formation of a smen-derivative from the Proto-Indo-European perfect *He-Hoǵ-.",

  "etymology_text": "From Old Latin osmen, of uncertain origin, with many origins proposed:\n* Ancient authors derived it from ōs (“mouth”).\n* Derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to see, perceive”) (whence audiō) or from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to perceive”), whence Ancient Greek οἴομαι (oíomai, “I think, believe, suppose”).\n* Per Beneviste and Oettinger, connected to Hittite [script needed] (hā-ᶻᶦ, “to believe, trust”) via a supposed Proto-Indo-European *h₂e/oh₃-s-mn (“trust”). De Vaan considers this semantically unconvincing.\n* Per De Vaan (who doubts the authenticity of the Old Latin form osmen), most likely from Proto-Italic *okʷsmn- (“sighting, omen”), from an s-present form of Proto-Indo-European *h₃ekʷ- (“to see; eye”) + *-men (whence -men).\n* An alternative theory by Meier-Brügger derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *Hoǵ-smen (“speech, what was predicted”), from an o-grade of Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵ- (“to say”) (whence aiō (“id”)). This is semantically attractive, but requires the existence of the otherwise unattested-in-Latin o-grade of aiō, as well as an atypical formation of a smen-derivative from the Proto-Indo-European perfect *He-Hoǵ-.",
