Brit. /ˌjɛləʊ ˈambəːd/, U.S. /ˌjɛloʊ ˈæmˌbərd/
Forms: 1600s yellow-ham bird, 1800s yellow hambird, 1800s– yellow ambird (English regional (Kent)), 1900s yellow an-bird (English regional (Kent)).
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: English yellowamber , yellowhammer n.
Etymology: Probably an alteration of yellowamber, variant of yellowhammer n., after bird n.With the word division in quot. 1657 perhaps compare yellow ham n., although that is much earlier and appears to be an isolated formation. Compare, however, the alternative etymological suggestion for both yellow ham n. and yellow ambird n. discussed at yellowhammer n. For forms with medial -h- compare α. forms at yellowhammer n. and discussion at that entry.
Now historical and rare (English regional (Kent) in later use).
