† timbren.¹

Forms: Also Middle English tymbre, tymber (Middle English tymbyr(e, tymbere), Middle English–1500s Scottish tymmer (1700s timber).

Etymology: < Old French timbre (12th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter) < *timbne < late popular Latin *timbano, for Latin tympanum, < Greek τύμπανον timbrel, kettledrum. In Old French timbre was used in 13th cent., and in Middle English by Wyclif, to render Latin tympanum in Psalm 150. This and the next two words all represent senses of the same French word, but having been taken into English at different dates, and without the intervening links by which the senses were connected in French, are here treated as distinct words.

(Thence also to a crest impressed or stamped upon a legal or official document, a stamp, whence to a postage-stamp: see timbro- comb. form.)

/ˈtɪmbər/,

/ˈtæmbər/,

/ˈtæmbrə/

Etymology: < modern French timbre: see timbre n.¹, timbre n.² From the sense ‘bell’, ‘small bell’ (see timbre n.¹) arose that of ‘sound of a bell’, ‘sonorous quality of any instrument or of a voice’, and finally that of ‘character or quality of sound’ (= German Klangfarbe), in which the word has passed into English use, retaining its French pronunciation.

The character or quality of a musical or vocal sound (distinct from its pitch and intensity) depending upon the particular voice or instrument producing it, and distinguishing it from sounds proceeding from other sources; caused by the proportion in which the fundamental tone is combined with the harmonics or overtones (= German Klangfarbe).In first quot. only a nonce-use of the French word.

1853 W. O. Markham tr. J. Skoda Treat. Auscultation 53 The voices of individuals, and the sounds of musical instruments, differ, not only in strength, clearness, and pitch, but (and particularly) in that quality also for which there is no common distinctive expression, but which is known as the tone, the character, or timbre of the voice. The timbre of the thoracic, always differs from the timbre of the oral, voice... A strong thoracic voice partakes of the timbre of the speaking-trumpet.

1876 tr. P. Blaserna Theory Sound viii. 147 There are scarcely any two individuals who have exactly the same timbre of voice.

1890 ‘R. Boldrewood’ Colonial Reformer (1891) 184 [His] voice..being mild and small of timbre.
