som‧bra

Pronounced as (IPA)

/ˈsombɾa/

Etymology

Possibly from the verb sombrar (from Vulgar Latin *subumbrāre), or more likely from Latin umbra (“shade, shadow”), possibly altered by influence from sol (“sun”) (cf. Old Spanish solombra (literally “sunshade”)) or the Latin prefix sub-. An alternative explanation for this form is a Latin construction sub illa umbra (“under that shade”).
The coffee was named by don José Prado Crespo, see: solo-corto.
