Etymology 1

In common use since by at least 1654, of uncertain origin. Theories include:

• that it derives from rum (“fine, good”), or from the last syllable of Latin saccharum (given the harsh taste of earlier rum, the first theory is now considered unlikely),
• that it is a shortening of rumbullion or rumbustion, or
• that it is from a Romani word for "strong, potent" which is (perhaps) the source of ramboozle and rumfustian (but these drinks were not originally made with rum)
• that it derives from rummer, from Dutch [Term?]

Alternative forms

• rhum (Philippines)

Noun

rum (countable and uncountable, plural rums)

1. (uncountable) A distilled spirit derived from fermented cane sugar and molasses.
