Etymology
Either from English umbrella or from regional Sicilian umbrellu, umbriellu. The final -a points to English (but compare Italian ombrella alongside ombrello). The pronunciation in turn is entirely Romance, meaning that if it is English it must be an early borrowing with a spelling pronunciation (we would now expect *ambrela). Compare also the Semitic plural.
