marimban.

Brit.

/məˈrɪmbə/, U.S.

/məˈrɪmbə/

Forms: 1700s– marimba, 1800s myrimba.

Origin: Perhaps of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Kimbundu. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Perhaps partly a borrowing from Portuguese. Etymons: Kimbundu marimba; Italian marimba; Portuguese marimba.

Etymology: Ultimately < Kimbundu marimba; in quot. 1704 at sense 1 via Italian marimba (a1680), otherwise perhaps via Portuguese marimba (1681). Compare Spanish marimba (1836 or earlier).Kimbundu marimba is a plural noun formed with the class prefix ma- . It has been suggested that the element rimba is related, perhaps by metathesis, to the base of mbira n. (and hence ultimately also to ambira n.).

1. A kind of deep-toned xylophone, originating in Africa and most commonly consisting of wooden keys on a frame with a tuned resonator beneath each key; a modern orchestral instrument evolved from this.Also used of a similar instrument developed in some South American countries.
