Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Byzantine Greek καμπούρης (kampoúrēs), from Ottoman Turkish قنبور (kanbur, kambur),[1][2] possibly from Ancient Greek καμπύλος (kampúlos) (in which case, it would be a reborrowing),[3] from the ancient κάμπτω (kámptō, “to bend, curve”). Doublet of καμπύλος (kampýlos). Also substantivised masculine and feminine.
The neuter form, from καμπούρικος (kampoúrikos).
