sãmburi

• sãmbure, sãmburã, sãmbur, sumburi, shambãrã, sãmburã, sumbru

One theory is that it comes from Albanian: compare sumbull, dialectal variant of standard thumbull (“button”), diminutive of thumb (“sting”). Alternatively, it may be a substratum word, akin to the Albanian one, or from a Vulgar Latin root *sumbola, symbola, from Latin symbolus, from Ancient Greek σύμβολον (súmbolon, “a sign by which one infers something; a mark, token, badge, ticket, tally, check, a signal, watchword, outward sign”) [1]. Compare Daco-Romanian sâmbure.
