Etymology

The French noun **tombe** comes from Old French *tomb* (12th c.), which in turn is a direct borrowing of the Latin **tumba** ‘burial mound, tomb’. The Latin term is of uncertain origin but is related to the same root that gives English *tomb*. Over time, the sense narrowed from a general mound to a specific burial place.
