Origin:
The word "squeamish" is thought to have originated from the Old French word "escoimer," which meant "to reject with disgust." This word is believed to derive from the Latin word "excumere," meaning "to vomit."
Over time, the meaning of "escoimer" shifted to "to skim off (fat)" or "to reject waste." This association with things that are unpleasant or disgusting may have contributed to the development of the modern meaning of "squeamish."
In the 16th century, the Middle French word "escoumer" was borrowed into English as "squeamish." The spelling was later changed to "squeamish" to reflect the pronunciation.
