Etymology

1. Disputed.
2. * Perhaps from Proto-Italic *amlos (“seizable”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃emh₃-lo-s, from *h₃emh₃- (“to grab”), with etymological meaning "graspable". Related to ampla (“handle, grip”).
3. * Otherwise for ambiplus (“full on both sides”), composed of ambi- (“both”) and an element akin to plēnus (“full”) (and more distantly to plūs (“more”)).
