Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *temH- Proto-Balto-Slavic *tímāˀ Proto-Slavic *tьma Old Polish ćma Polish ćma Inherited from Old Polish ćma. The "moth" sense, apparently unattested in Old Polish, appears to be a semantic extension of the "darkness" sense, due to moths being nocturnal creatures with generally dark coloration.
