Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish fambre, fanbre, famne (whence also Ladino ambre), from Vulgar Latin *faminem (the accusative of a nominative *famen or *famis), variant of Latin famēs, see there for more. For other examples of Latin /mVn/ > Old Spanish /mn/ > later /mbɾ/ see hombre, nombre, muchedumbre, cumbre, lumbre, alambre, hembra, costumbre, enjambre, -dumbre, -umbre. Compare also Latin /mn/ > Old Spanish /ɲ/ ⟨mn > nn > ñ⟩ in dueño, sueño, daño, otoño, etc. Compare Portuguese fome, Galician fame, French faim, dialectal Occitan hame, Italian fame, Sardinian fámine, famen, Romanian foame.
