theorbon.

Brit.

/θɪˈɔːbəʊ/, U.S.

/θiˈɔrˌboʊ/

Forms:

α. 1600s–1700s theorboe, 1600s– theorbo.

β. 1600s teorbes (plural), 1600s theorb', 1600s tiorba, 1600s–1700s theorb, 1600s–1700s theorba, 1600s– theorbe.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: French théorbe; Italian tiorba.

Etymology: < (i) French théorbe (although this is apparently first attested slightly later than in English in relevant forms: 1610 or earlier as †theorbe; beginning of the 17th cent. as †tuorbe, 1620 or earlier as teorbe, 1626 as †tiorbe), and its etymon (ii) Italian tiorba (a1585; also 1633 or earlier as †teorba); further etymology uncertain and disputed: see discussion in M. Cortelazzo & P. Zolli Dizionario etimologico della lingua italiana (ed. 2, 1999) at tiorba and J. Corominas Diccionario crítico etimológico castellano e hispánico (ed. 2, 1981) at tiorba. Compare Spanish tiorba (c1609; c1600 as †tiorbia), Portuguese tiorba (1644), post-classical Latin tiorba (a1544 in an Italian source), theorba (1639 in a British source).The form with final -o is apparently not paralleled in any of the Romance languages, and probably reflects uncertainty about the quality of unstressed final vowels in Romance loanwords; compare discussion at -ado suffix. The spelling with initial th- may perhaps reflect association with theo- comb. form and related words.

Music. Now chiefly historical.

A large variety of lute having two sets of tuning pegs and a neck extended in both length and width to hold additional bass strings.The theorbo was popular as an accompanying instrument during the 17th cent.
