Etymology

From Occitan guimbarda, from guimbar (“to jump”), from Old Occitan guimar (“to leap”), possibly from a hypothetical Gothic *𐍅𐌹𐌼𐍉𐌽 (*wimōn, “to rise [?]”), which would be related to Old Saxon upwimōn (“to rise”), Old High German ūfwiumen (“to well or bubble up”) and/or Old High German wemōn (“to sway, fluctuate”), all ultimately related to Proto-Germanic *wīpaną (“to wrap, wind”).
