means Tombs are the plural of tomb — burial structures or chambers built to hold the dead, ranging from simple graves to grand stone monuments.
from From the Old French 'tombe,' which came down from Late Latin 'tumba,' itself borrowed from Greek 'tymbos,' a burial mound or grave. The Greek word likely traces back to an even older root meaning 'to swell' — a fitting image for a heap of earth raised over the dead. So a tomb began life not as carved marble but as a swelling in the ground, a mound that said 'someone is here.'
