Alternative forms

Etymology

Either from Latin zema (“saucepan”) or from Ancient Greek ζέμα (zéma, “decoction, something boiled or fermented; extract; essence”), through a Vulgar Latin intermediate *zema, likely with an Eastern Romance regional sense closer to that of the original Greek than the attested Latin term. Compare Romanian zeamă.
