aumbryn. Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French almarie, aumerie; Latin armārium. Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman almarie, almari, almerie, aumerie, aumere, aumer, Anglo-Norman and Old French almarie, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French armarie (also Old French, Middle French armaire , Middle French, French armoire ) niche, cabinet, cupboard, closet, bookcase, library, chest (12th cent.), and its etymon (ii) classical Latin armārium (in post-classical Latin also almarium and almaria (frequently from 13th cent. in British and continental sources)) cabinet, cupboard, bookcase, in post-classical Latin also recess in a wall (12th cent. in a British source), shelf (1440 in a British glossarial source) < arma gear, tools, arms (see arms n.) + -ārium -arium suffix. Compare Old Occitan armari , Catalan armari (13th cent.), Spanish armario , (now rare) almario (13th cent.), Portuguese armário , (now rare)almário (14th cent.), Italian †armario (13th cent.), armadio (14th cent.). Compare armoire n., armoury n. Compare also almirah n.Forms with initial al- probably result ultimately from consonantal dissimilation. The form nalmry at α. forms shows metanalysis. The δ. forms show the development of an excrescent consonant. Perhaps sometimes associated by folk etymology with almonry n., as if a place for alms (compare also discussion at almonry n.). For possible early use in surnames see note at almonry n. N.E.D.
