Etymology
**Etymology of “tombé” (noun)**
The noun “tombé” comes from the French past participle of *tomber* “to fall”, which itself is derived from Old French *tombre* and ultimately from Latin *tumbere* “to fall, collapse”. The Latin verb is traced back to the Proto‑Indo‑European root *tum‑*, meaning “to fall or collapse”. Historically, *tombé* was first used as an adjective describing a fallen person (especially a soldier) and later shifted into a noun meaning “fallen one” or “deceased”.
