Where the word comes from
Gummy comes from the noun gum, which traces back through Middle English and Old French gomme to Latin gummi, borrowed from Greek kommi. The Greek term itself was borrowed from a Semitic language, likely related to Hebrew qomē and Arabic qommī, referring to the resinous substance that oozes from certain trees and plants. The adjective suffix -y was added in English to describe something having the quality or consistency of gum.
