Where this word comes from
From Middle High German tūmeln, from Old High German tūmalōn, tūmilōn, frequentative of tūmōn, either from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewh₂- (“to fume”) or related to Dunst (“haze”). Related with Dutch tuimelen, English tumble, but the phonetics of this root are unclear, as is its relation with Romance words such as French tomber, Spanish tumbar and Portuguese tombar.
