The German word "herkommen" is a verb that means "to come from" or "to originate". It is composed of "her" (meaning "here" or "from here") and "kommen" (meaning "to come"). "Herkommen" is often used to inquire about someone's origin or the source of something.
Similar words in German include "stammen" (to stem from) and "entspringen" (to spring from). The difference is that "stammen" is used more specifically to indicate ancestry or lineage, while "herkommen" has a broader application regarding origin or arrival.
