If you are referring to the language in which the word bamboo derived from, it is from the Malaysian word mambu.
It is Igbo for "Scully, I'm uh put it on you."
The Malay word samambu, while suspect, morphed into mambu and was picked up by the Portuguese as bambu. From there, the Dutch updated it to bamboe sometime in the 1590s.
Bamboo originated in Asia, primarily in regions like China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. It has been used for various purposes for thousands of years in these regions.
The correct spelling is vuvuzela, an obnoxious plastic trumpet / noisemaker seen at sports contests. Known as lepatata Mambu, they were originally kudu horns used to signal between villages in Africa.
; bamboo : 1598, from Du. bamboe, from Port. bambu, earlier mambu (16c.), probably from Malay samambu, though some suspect this is itself an imported word. See the Related Link below.
Bamboo: 1598, from Dutch bamboe, from Portuguese bambu, earlier mambu (16c.), probably from Malay samambu, though some suspect this is itself an imported word.The origins of the word "bamboo" are obscure. Some authorities claim it derives from the Kannada language of South India, and that it is onomatopaeic, representing the crackling, explosive sound made by the culms when they burn.Others find the origin in an obscure Malay dialect of the west coast of Sumatra.Be this as it may, the name bamboo--a relatively new term, not found in English before the 16th century, was first brought to Europe by the Portuguese, and then adopted by other languages.First record 1590s, from Dutch bamboe, from Portugese bambu, earlier mambu (16th. century), probably from Malay samambu.
