Where this word comes from
Sihler suggests a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *sm̥-meh₁lom (“one time”, literally “one-measure”), from *sem- (“together, whole, one”) and *meh₁-lo- (“measure, time”) (compare Proto-Germanic *mēlą), from *meh₁- (“to measure”). See each for cognate words. However, this is uncertain and would involve some phonetic irregularity.
