Word: сом,
Near etymology: род. п. -а́, укр. сом, род. п. со́ма, болг. сом, сербохорв. со̏м, род. п. со̀ма, словен. sòm, род. п. sóma, др.-чеш. som, чеш. sumec, слвц. sumec, др.-польск. som, польск. sum, н.-луж. som.
Further etymology: Родственно лит. šãmas -- то же, лтш. sams "сом", далее сравнивают с греч. καμασήν, род. п. -ῆνος "какая-то рыба" (Сольмсен, Beitr. 122 и сл.; Траутман, ВSW 298; Лёвенталь, WuS 10, 142; М.--Э. 3, 689). Следует отделять от слав. слова лат. salmō, род. п. -ōnis "лосось", вопреки Преобр. II, 355.
