词源

词源 1
In common use since at least 1654, of uncertain origin. Theories include:
* that it is a shortening of rumbullion or rumbustion, names for rum also attested in the Caribbean during the mid-17th century,
* that it derives from rummer, from Dutch roemer,
* that it is from a Romani word for "strong, potent" which is (perhaps) the source of ramboozle and rumfustian (however, these drinks were not originally made with rum),
* that it derives from rum ("fine, good") or from the last syllable of Latin saccharum (given the harsh taste of earlier rum, this origin is now considered unlikely)
词源 2
From the earlier form rome (“good”, slang); possibly of Romani origin; compare rom.
词源 3
Shortening of rummy.
