What thumb means
The short, thick first digit on the human hand that opposes the other fingers, allowing the hand to grip and manipulate objects.
Where the word comes from
From Old English þuma, related to Old High German dūmo and Old Norse þúmall. These Germanic words likely stem from a Proto-Germanic root meaning "swollen" or "thick," referring to the digit's stout appearance. The word has cognates across Germanic languages but no clear connection to Latin or Greek roots.
