From Middle High German kumber (“debris, rubble, obstruction, distress, encumbrance, confiscation”). Cognate with Luxembourgish Kommer, Dutch kommer, Old Frisian kummer.
- Probably from Old French *combre (“obstruction, barrier”), combrer (“to hinder”), from Medieval Latin combrus (“barricade”), usually said to be from either Latin cumulus (“heap”) or Gaulish *komberū << Proto-Celtic *kombereti (“to bring together”) << *kom- + *bereti (“to bear”).[1][2] Compare Middle French combre, Medieval Latin combrus, English cumber.
- Alternatively from Proto-West Germanic *kumbr, from Proto-Germanic *kumbraz, from Proto-Indo-European.[3]
