    The English word amber derives from Arabic ʿanbar عنبر (ultimately from Middle Persian ambar) via Middle Latin ambar and Middle French ambre. The word referred to what is now known as ambergris (ambre gris or “grey amber”), a solid waxy substance derived from the sperm whale. The word, in its sense of “ambergris,” was adopted in Middle English in the 14th century.
