Etymology

Via Middle Persian [script needed] (ʾmbk' /ambag/, “*mango; a preserve, conserve”). The alternative form عَنْبَة‎ (ʕanba) / عَْنْبَا‎ (ʕanbā) is from Neo-Persian انبه‎ (anba) as well as directly via Apabhraṃśa from Sanskrit आम्र (āmra, “mango”). Later again borrowed from modern Indo-Aryan languages into the dialects, as from Marathi the Iraqi Arabic عَمْبَة‎ (ʕamba, “mango pickle mash”).
