Etymology

The French noun **cime** comes from Old French *cime*, which in turn was borrowed from Latin **cima** meaning “summit, top.” Latin *cima* derives from the Proto‑Indo‑European root *kʰey‑ “to rise, climb,” a root that also appears in related words such as Latin *cēdō* “to climb” and Greek *κήμη* “edge, summit.” Thus, *cime* has historically signified the uppermost point or apex of something, a sense preserved in contemporary French.
