Forms: before a vowel ombr-.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ὄμβρος shower of rain (cognate with classical Latin imber rain: see imbrid adj.) + -o- connective.Earliest in an isolated attestation in the first half of the 18th cent. (see ombrometer n.), and from the first half of the 19th cent. in a small number of English formations and adaptations of German words (compare ombrophilous adj.¹, ombrophobic adj., and ombrophobous adj.).
