härkomst

== Swedish == === Etymology === Borrowed from Middle Low German herkomst, herkumpst. Compare similarly borrowed ankomst (“arrival”) and tillkomst (“coming into existence, creation”). The second element -komst is from Proto-Germanic *kumþiz, but is not a native Swedish formation, rather a borrowing of the Middle Low German suffix. The native Swedish descendant of *kumþiz would be -kund. === Noun === härkomst c origin, descent, extraction ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== ursprung ==== See also ==== bördig === References === “härkomst”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) “härkomst”, in Svenska Akademiens ordbok [Dictionary of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish)
