Etymology

Cognate with Occitan: escoba

In summary

Deverbal from escombrar, from Vulgar Latin *excomborāre, from Proto-Celtic *comboros, derived from *kom- (“with”) + *bereti (“to bear”), or from Latin scōpa, crossed with the Celtic word or influenced by escombrar (compare Occitan escoba (“broom”)).
