Etymology 1
Deverbal from escombrar (“to clear out”), from Vulgar Latin *excomborāre (“to clear (a place) of hindrances”). This is said to derive from *comborus (“hindrance, barricade”) (compare Medieval Latin combrus (“barricade of felled trees”)), from Gaulish *comboros, from *komberū (“to bring together”), from Proto-Celtic *kombereti (compare Old Irish conbeir (“brings together, bears”)), from *kom- + *bereti (“to bear”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰéreti (“to be carrying”).[1][2] Cognate with English encumber from Old French combrer (“to hinder”) and with German Kummer (“grief, trouble”) from Middle High German kumber (“distress, encumbrance”), originally "debris, rubble", also from Old French. Vulgar Latin *comborus is alternatively derived from Latin cumulus (“heap, pile”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱewh₁- (“to swell”).[3] Yet another explanation occasionally found derives the Spanish verb from Latin combūrō (“to burn up”).
