The root Hebrew root צ.מ.ד (ts.m.d) is the concept of juxtaposition – of two things, or people, being next to each other.
It appears in a multitude of words and phrases, including the slightly cheeky expression, צֶמֶד חֶמֶד (TSEH-med KHEH-med) – a cute couple, and the active-passive-reflexive “simple” נִפְעַל (neef-AHL) verb, לְהִצָּמֵד – to cling (leh-hee-tsah-MED). A household application of the latter is נַילוֹן נִצְמַד – plastic wrap (NAH-ee-lohn neets-MAHD) – plastic that clings.
