caerimonia
Latin
Alternative forms
Etymology
It formally matches Sanskrit कर्मन् (kárman, “action, deed; karma”), as if both were from Proto-Indo-European *kʷermon-, itself an abstract noun formed from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do, make”). According to de Vaan, however, it's a derivation from the unattested adjective *caerus- + -mōnia also found as the second part of the compound sincērus (“whole, sound”).
Romans folk-etymologized this word as if coming from the name of the city of Caere.
