History

The word plumb entered Middle English via Old French, from the Latin plumbum ‘lead’. It shares this root with the words plumber, plummet, and aplomb. A plumber was originally a tradesman who worked with lead, which was formerly used for water pipes. In the Middle Ages plummet denoted a plumb or plumb line; its use as a verb to mean ‘fall rapidly’ is a 20th-century development. Aplomb entered English from the French phrase à plomb ‘according to a plummet’: it originally meant ‘perpendicularity, steadiness’.

Etymology
