Inherited from 中期英語 *amere, *ambre, from 古期英語 amore. Alternatively, it may be a clipping of yellowhammer or earlier yelambre. Favored over *hammer due to the influence of its German cognate and synonym Ammer (“bunting”) and its predecessors, Middle High German amer and Old High German amaro.
ammer (plural ammers)
