gambreln.

Brit.

/ˈɡambr(ə)l/, U.S.

/ˈɡæmbrəl/

Forms: 1500s (1900s– English regional (Wiltshire) and Welsh English) gamrel, 1500s–1600s gambrell, 1600s gamberel, 1600s gambrill, 1600s gamrell, 1600s– gambril, 1600s– gambrel, 1700s gammerill, 1900s– gameral (Welsh English); also English regional 1700s gamrel (Kent), 1700s gaumerel (Yorkshire), 1700s– gammerel (south-western), 1700s– gammerell (south-western), 1800s gambrell, 1800s– gambrul (Isle of Wight), 1800s– gaumeril (Yorkshire), 1900s– gumbrul (Isle of Wight); also Scottish 1800s gamerel, 1800s gomeril, 1900s– gamrel; also Irish English (northern) 1900s– gammerel. See also gamble n.¹

Origin: Perhaps a borrowing from French. Etymon: French gamberel.

Etymology: Perhaps < Middle French gamberel, denoting some sort of stick or rod used by butchers (attested only in the plural, gambereaulx , in a single document of 1452 from Évreux in Normandy, referring to butchers having the opportunity to gather such rods in a wood), apparently < gambe , jambe leg (see jamb n.) + -erel -rel suffix. Compare Middle French, French jambier piece of wood used by butchers to keep the legs of a slaughtered animal apart (1409 in Middle French, in isolated use in a document also from Évreux; subsequently from 18th cent.), French (regional: Normandy) gambier piece of wood from which a butcher hangs a slaughtered animal by the legs, French (regional: Normandy) gambré curved piece of wood, from the two ends of which one suspends objects, and which is itself suspended at its centre. In sense 2a perhaps so called on account of its resemblance in shape, or perhaps of independent origin, as a variant of cambrel n. The relationship of sense 1 with earlier cambrel n. 1 is uncertain. In sense 3a short for gambrel roof n.Earlier currency in either Anglo-Norman or Middle English is suggested by the surnames Rogerus Gamberel (c1200, in a source from Dublin), Thomas Gambrel (1327, as name of a someone holding land in Warwickshire).

a. A bent piece of wood or iron used by butchers for hanging or stretching out carcasses. Cf. cambrel n. 1.
