Word Origin & History

-some 
as a suffix forming adjectives, it represents O.E. -sum (see some; cf. O.Fris. -sum, Ger. -sam, O.N. -samr), related to sama "same." As a suffix added to numerals meaning "a group of that number" (cf. twosome) it represents O.E. sum "some," used after the genitive plural (cf. sixa sum "six-some"), the inflection disappearing in M.E. Use of some with a number meaning "approximately" also was in O.E.

soma 
name of an intoxicant used in ancient Vedic ritual, prepared from the juice of some plant, from Skt. soma, from PIE *seu- "juice," from base *seue- "to take liquid" (see sup (2)). In "Brave New World" (1932), the name of a state-dispensed narcotic producing euphoria and hallucination.
