== French == === Noun === fantosme m (plural fantosmes) obsolete form of fantôme == Middle English == === Noun === fantosme alternative form of fantome == Old French == === Alternative forms === fantasme === Etymology === From Latin phantasma, from Ancient Greek φάντασμα (phántasma); alternatively, according to the TLFi, it may have arrived in French through Gallic Vulgar Latin in what is now southern France, from an Ionian Greek dialect brought to Marseilles, presumably in a form *phantagma > *phantauma. The later spelling in Old French thus reflects the influence of the spelling of phantasma, the standard Latin form. === Noun === fantosme oblique singular, m (oblique plural fantosmes, nominative singular fantosmes, nominative plural fantosme) ghost (apparition) ==== Descendants ==== French: fantôme (see there for further descendants) Norman: fantôme → Middle Dutch: fantome Dutch: fantoom → Middle English: fantome, fantam, fantem, fanteme, fantesme, fantime, fantom, fantosme, fantoum, fantum, fantymEnglish: phantom, phantasmScots: phanton
