From Northern Middle English ramen (“to cry out, scream”), from Old English *hrāmian, from Proto-West Germanic *hraimōn, from Proto-Germanic *hraimōną (“to scream”), *hraimaz (“a scream”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerey- (“to scream, screech”). Cognate with Old Norse hreimr (“a scream, cry”), and possibly to Old English hrēam (“a cry, outcry, tumult, noise”).
