D sürme: Pass. Dev. N. fr. sür-; lit. ‘something driven, pushed’, etc.; not noted before the medieval period, but s.i.m.m.l.g.; the commonest modern meaning is ‘antimony, collyrium’, presumably originally ‘something rubbed (on the eyebrows)’. In this sense it became a l.-w. in Russian as surma and has been reborrowed, with back vowels, in some languages. It also means ‘a sliding door-bolt; a sliding drawer’ in some languages.
