Etymology
'warm' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'wearm', where Proto-Germanic '*warmaz' meant 'warm/heat'.
'warm' changed from the Old English word 'wearm' and eventually became the modern English word 'warm'.
Initially it meant 'having or producing a moderately high temperature'; over time it retained this core meaning and also developed figurative senses like 'affectionate' or 'cheering'.
