出典:『Wiktionary』 (2025/12/04 23:12 UTC 版)
Alteration of -oma, from Ancient Greek -ωμα (-ōma).
Only partially cognate to -some (“body”), from σῶμα (sôma, “body”), in that both share the case ending -μα (-ma), but the ω is unrelated.
Back-formation from mitome, reinforced by chromosome. Early examples include biome (1916) and genome, from German Genom (1920). Some association with genetics due to occurrence in chromosome and genome.
