rumban.

Brit.

/ˈrʌmbə/, U.S.

/ˈrəmbə/

Forms: 1900s– rhumba, 1900s– rumba.

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish rumba.

Etymology: < Cuban Spanish rumba party, spree, Afro-Cuban dance (both 1867 or earlier), piece of music intended to accompany the dance (apparently 1913 or earlier: see quot. 1913 at sense 1b), alteration (with change of gender) of Spanish rumbo uproar, commotion, specific semantic development of rumbo fame, prestige (c1600), pomp, ostentatious demeanour (beginning of the 17th cent.), further etymology uncertain and disputed: perhaps a specific semantic development of rumbo rhumb n., the rhombus formerly being widely used as a magical sign (so J. Corominas Diccionario crítico etimológico castellano e hispánico (1981) at rumbo), or perhaps of imitative origin.

a. An Afro-Cuban dance; a ballroom dance imitative of this, danced on the spot with a pronounced movement of the hips. Also: dancing in this style.
