nounmasculinea-stememmer, spelt; fine flour or starch made from itEtymology uncertain. Possibly related historically to Latin amylum, borrowed from Ancient Greek ἄμυλον, though the direction and nature of the relationship are uncertain. The Germanic -r- is supported by Old High German amar and Middle Low German āmerkorn; later Germanic forms with -l- and umlaut may reflect contamination with Late Latin amilumLloyd & Springer 1988: s.v. amar.
