cremo

1. first-person singular present indicative of cremare

• crome, merco

Within Italic, perhaps related to Umbrian 𐌊𐌓𐌄𐌌𐌀𐌕𐌓𐌀 (krematra). Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *kerh₃- (“to burn”); if so, then cognate with carbō (“charcoal”) (though disputed), English hearth. An alternative theory links the word to Proto-Celtic *kurmi (“beer”).^[1]
