Brit.

/zᵻˈrʌmbɛt/, U.S.

/zᵻˈrəmˌbɛt/

Forms: 1600s 1800s– zerumbet, 1600s–1700s zerumbeth.

Origin: A borrowing from Portuguese. Etymons: Portuguese zerumbete, zerumbet.

Etymology: < Portuguese zerumbete (1563 as zerumbet in da Orta; compare quot. 1640) < zerumba (1516; ultimately < Persian zuruṃbā , zuruṃbād ) + -ete -et suffix¹. Compare earlier zedoary n.Compare post-classical Latin zerumbet (1574 in a translation from Portuguese), French zerumbet (1515 in Middle French as zerombec in a translation from Italian), Italian zerumba, zerumbet (16th cent.). Compare also (reflecting the Persian vocalism) post-classical Latin zurumbet (1507 or earlier), zurumbeth (1522 or earlier) and Middle French zurumbet (1561 in a translation of a Latin text), and compare the following earlier examples of post-classical Latin zurumbet and zurumbeth in English contexts:1576 G. Baker tr. C. Gesner Newe Jewell of Health iv. f. 221^v Take..of Seminis sancti, Benedictae,..Rhapontici Dioscoridis, Ciambet (an Zurumbet [L. Zurumbet]) of each three drams & a halfe.1597 J. Gerard Herball ii. 820 The Apothecaries do sell another Zedoaria differing from Anthora,..that..is thought to be Auicens and Serapios Zerumbeth, or Zurumbeth. Compare further Arabic zurunbāḏ (late 9th cent. or earlier; < Persian). The following apparently shows isolated earlier borrowing of Portuguese zerumba:1555 R. Eden Of Prices Precious Stones & Spices in tr. Peter Martyr of Angleria Decades of Newe Worlde f. 238^v Of the Apothecaries drugges: And of what price they are in Calicut and Malabar... Zerumba, the farazuola Fanan ii. Zedoaria, the farazuola Fanan i.

Now rare and chiefly historical.

The aromatic root of any of several plants of the genus Curcuma (family Zingiberaceae), esp. C. zedoaria, used (formerly) as a medicinal agent and spice. Also: the plant itself. Cf. zedoary n.
