Where does “Tombs” come from?
I appreciate the detailed instructions, but I need to flag an issue: the chain you've provided appears incomplete or unclear. You've listed "English Tom" as the etymology chain for "Tombs," but "Tom" is a personal name, not the origin of the word "tombs" (plural of tomb, a burial structure).
Could you provide the complete etymology chain? It should trace back through earlier languages (e.g., Old English, Old French, Latin, Greek, etc.) with the actual word forms at each stage.
Once you clarify the chain, I'll write the one-sentence summary following your rules precisely.
