Etymology

Primim is the first-person plural present of a primi, meaning to receive. The verb comes from Latin primus, first, and originally carried the sense of taking the foremost or first place, which shifted over time to accepting or taking in something offered. Latin primus itself goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root behind words for forward and first rank.
