What's the etymology of "Chooms"?

I see "Chooms" a few places, most notably my favorite text based DJ Jotarō (@LambdaCalculus ). I see it's a generalized terms from Cyberpunk 2077 like "Comrade" or "Bro". I like it, but I want to fully grok its meaning. Is it short for something? Was it the most commonly used alpha model mobile computer, with a prominent model number of CH00-M that these punks all carried around? Where did it come from?

@revengeday @x00001 I thought it was invention of the game cyberpunk2077? (To be fair, I'm old and more used to chummer, I'm just keepin up with the kidz™️)

@binder My introduction to it was @LambdaCalculus 's posts, but I saw it a few places. Basically, it's how the cyberpunks say "Bro."
