Origin:
The origins of the word "qualm" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic language. In Proto-Germanic, the word "kwalmaz" meant "choking smoke" or "fumes." Over time, this meaning evolved to describe a feeling of nausea or discomfort.
In Old Norse, the word "kvalm" referred to a suffocating smoke or smell that could cause physical discomfort. It was also used to describe a feeling of illness or sickness.
In Middle English, the word "kwelme" had a similar meaning. It could refer to a feeling of nausea or illness, as well as to a feeling of anxiety or unease.
The word "qualm" has retained these meanings in modern English. It is used to describe a slight feeling of unease or misgiving, as well as a feeling of nausea or sickness.
