Etymology

Borrowed from Georgian ?????? (tamada), from (Proto-?)Circassian *t?amada (compare Adyghe ???????? (t??m?t?, “foreman of a village; boss; master; chairman; (dated) husband”), Kabardian ???????? (t??m?d?, “foreman of a village; boss; master; chairman; (dialectal) bridegroom, wooer”)), probably from Ottoman Turkish ?????? (damat, “bridegroom; son-in-law; sovereign's brother-in-law”) (from Persian ?????? (dâmâd, “bridegroom; son-in-law; father-in-law; sovereign's brother-in-law; lover, wooer”)) with the ending reshaped under the influence of Kabardian ??? (?d?, “father”).

The suggestion that the word is derived from a blend of ???? (tavi, “head”) +? ?????? (magida, “table”) (in the sense of a person at the head of a table) is a folk etymology.
