Etymology 2
First attested in 1501 along the Lower Rhine. Possibly borrowed from, also , although the Dutch is found slightly later (1524). The further origin is uncertain, but probably identical with etymology 1. At the time there seems to have been an interest in antique glasses unearthed in Cologne and other Roman cities; compare Ripuarian, 🇨🇬 (both 15th c.). These may have inspired the rummer glasses or at any rate their name. An alternative theory derives it from, , thus referring to a ceremonial glass used for toasting. This seems less likely on semantic grounds. Formally, all attested vowel qualities can be explained through dialectal developments in Dutch and Ripuarian.
