Etymology

[edit]

Via Middle Persian [script needed] (ʾmbk' /⁠ambag⁠/, *mango; a preserve, conserve). The alternative form عَنْبَة (ʕanba) / عَْنْبَا (ʕanbā) is from Neo-Persian انبه (anba) as well as directly via Apabhraṃśa from Sanskrit आम्र (āmra, mango). Later again borrowed from modern Indo-Aryan languages into the dialects, as from Marathi the Iraqi Arabic عَمْبَة (ʕamba, mango pickle mash).
