== Romanian == === Alternative forms === adulmaca, adulmăca, adurmăca, adurmeca, dulmăca, adulma, aulma, ulma — regional or archaic === Etymology === Unknown. Cognate with Aromanian ulmic, ulmicari. Possibly from a Vulgar Latin root *adosmicāre, from *adosmāre, from Ancient Greek ὀσμάω (osmáō), which would make sense semantically but is difficult to connect phonetically. Compare Italian ormare, Spanish husmear, husmar probably coming from a Latin *osmāre, ultimately from Ancient Greek. It may be linked with urmă through an *adormicāre. Another less likely etymology may be *adolmicāre, ultimately from oleō.
