anbury, amb-|ˈænbərɪ, ˈæm-|
Forms: 6–7 anburie, 7– anbury, ambury; also anberry, nanberry.
[Deriv. doubtful; ambury has been assumed by some to be the earlier form, and taken as a corrupt descendant of OE. ampre, ompre; but the latter regularly survives in the dialects as amper, app. quite unconnected in sense with this. Ambury appears to be a phonetic variant of anbury (as in im-brue, em-balm, Stam-ford), and this perhaps = ang-berry, f. OE. ang- ‘pain, suffering,’ as in ang-nail (agnail), and OE. ang-seta carbuncle, pimple. For berry cf. strawberry applied to a birth-mark. In It. associated in name with ‘mulberry.’ Cf. angleberry.]
