Etymology
The term 'chummy' originated in the early 19th century, derived from the word 'chum,' which originally referred to a roommate or close friend, particularly in British slang. 'Chum' itself is thought to have roots in the 17th century, deriving from the Middle English word 'chummel,' meaning 'a partner' or 'companion.'
