单词 fromm
释义

fromm

See also: Fromm

German

Etymology

From Middle High German vrume (efficient, good, righteous), derived from Old High German fruma (benefit). The vocalism -o- could readily be explained as dialectal, but is already common in Middle High German. The commonest form in early modern German was frōm. Modern fromm is a variant with suppression of open-syllable lengthening (as commonly found before -m-). Related to Dutch vroom and Yiddish פֿרום (frum).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /fʁɔm/
  • (file)

Adjective

fromm (comparative frömmer or frommer, superlative am frömmsten or am frommsten)

  1. pious
  2. (archaic) righteous

Usage notes

  • In contemporary usage, fromm tends to be read as “observant of religious customs” rather than “steeped in faith and devotion”. It therefore may, but need not, have the negative overtone of “sanctimonious”.
