约于1300年, cumbren, combren,意为“推翻,摧毁”,可能是 acombren 的缩写,后者意为“阻碍进展”,源自古法语 encombrer,源自 combre,意为“障碍,屏障”,源自通俗拉丁语 *comboros,意为“被一起携带的东西”,可能源自高卢语。可能的词根是 PIE *kom(参见 com-)和 *bher-(1)“携带”,也指“生育孩子”。
“阻碍行动,妨碍或拖累”的弱化意义始于约1300年。相关词汇: Cumbered; cumbering。 Cumber-world(14世纪晚期)是一个旧词,指任何无用的或无用的东西或人, cumber-ground(1650年代)是指“无用或无益的东西或人”。
