Etymology

From Proto-Italic *amβō, cognate to Ancient Greek ἄμφω (ámphō, “both”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰóh₁, possibly prefixed with the root noun *h₂ent- (“front, front side”) (whence ante). Often considered related to ambi-, but according to Dunkel this only applies to the first syllable.
