What does "Thu'um" mean in Skyrim?

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Thu'um (pronounced "thoom") is a powerful magic system, also called the Dragon Shout, Storm Voice, or simply the Voice, that uses the Dragon Language (Dovahzul) to manifest immense power through spoken words, acting like spells but drawing on inherent essence rather than Magicka.
