Etymology

From Proto-Albanian *tsjam tam, from Proto-Indo-European *kiom tom, a sequence of two pronouns in neuter of which the first is related to 'se'. Alternatively from Proto-Albanian *tśe enta, literally 'this being', the first element from *kwe- (“how, what”), or *k̂(e) (“this”), while the second one being a gerundive or a participle of a disused verb, close to Latin -ēns (participal ending), Medieval Latin ens (“being”) (hence Italian ente (“entity, body, being”)), and Ancient Greek ὤν (ṓn) (present participle).
