What language is trombone from?

Answer 1

The Trombone originated in Europe in the middle ages. There is debate as to whether it was used first in Germany (where is is called the Posaune) or in France (where it was called the sacqebut). By the seventeenth century, it was common, and in use everywhere in Europe.

Answer 2

The name "trombone" comes from the Italian word tromba for Trumpet. Change the suffix "a" to the Italian suffix "one", meaning "big", and you get trombone meaning "big trumpet".
