teem

• vi.たくさん現れる；いっぱいになる
• vt.注ぎ出す
• n.（ティーム）人名；（英）Tim.

古英語のteman「子孫を残す」「増やす」から。原語ゲルマン語*taumjan「引っ張る」「導く」に由来し、語源的にはPIE*deuk「引っ張る」「導く」から。

中英語のtemen「空にする」、古ノルド語のtoema「注ぎ出す」、原ゲルマン語*tomijana「注ぎ出す」、特に容器を空にすることから。後の派生語は注ぐ、流れる。

teem

teem: see team

teem (v.1)

"abound, swarm, be prolific," Old English teman (Mercian), tieman (West Saxon) "beget, give birth to, bring forth, produce, propagate," from Proto-Germanic *tau(h)mjan (denominative), from PIE *deuk- "to lead" (see duke (n.)). Related to team (n.) in its now-obsolete Old English sense of "family, brood of young animals." The meaning "abound, swarm" is first recorded 1590s, on the notion of "be full of as if ready to give birth." Related: Teemed; teeming.

teem (v.2)

"to flow copiously," early 14c., "to empty out" (transitive), from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse toema "to empty," from tomr "empty," cognate with Old English tom (adj.) "empty, free from." The original notion is of "to empty a vessel," thus "to pour out." Intransitive sense of "to pour, flow, stream" is from 1828. Related: Teemed; teeming.
