different between rum vs bumbo

rum

English

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /??m/
  • Rhymes: -?m

Etymology 1

In common use since by at least 1654, of uncertain origin. Theories include:

  • that it derives from rum (fine, good), or from the last syllable of Latin saccharum (given the harsh taste of earlier rum, the first theory is now considered unlikely),
  • that it is a shortening of rumbullion or rumbustion, or
  • that it is from a Romani word for "strong, potent" which is (perhaps) the source of ramboozle and rumfustian (but these drinks were not originally made with rum)
  • that it derives from rummer, from Dutch [Term?]

Alternative forms

  • rhum (Philippines)
