calambourn.

Forms: 1600s callembour, 1600s colambor, 1600s–1800s calambour.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French calambour.

Etymology: < French calambour (1679), alteration (see note) of calambou (1642), variant (with loss of final -c ) of calambouc (1628), Middle French calambuc (1575) < Portuguese calambuco (1540): see calambac n.The French form calambour shows a reverse spelling reflecting the fact that final -r is rarely pronounced in the 16th cent., so it was possible to transcribe the form pronounced calambou as calambour. Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: calamˈbour.

= calambac n.Said in modern English Dictionaries to be ‘A species of Agallochum or aloes-wood, less fragrant than calambac, used by cabinet-makers’: but this appears to be merely an error copied from dictionary to dictionary.In Webster, Ogilvie, Cassell.
