Etymology

From Proto-Baltic *šamas, from a stem *šam-, from Proto-Indo-European *kam- (“stick, wood”). The semantic change (“wood” > “fish”) is due to resemblance between wels catfish, especially when asleep in water, and pieces of wood. Cognates include Lithuanian šãmas, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian ??? (som), Czech sumec (Old Czech som), Polish sum, Ancient Greek ????? (kámax, “pile, stake”) (compare Greek ?????? (kamáki, “spear, harpoon”)).
