[pøbel]
** German
*** Alternative forms
- [de]
*** Etymology
From [de], [gmh] (“folk, people”, ca. 1200). Generally derived from [de],
[fro]. However, since Middle High German consistently shows _-v-_, borrowing
from Italian Gallo-Romance _povolo_ should also be considered. In any case
from [de]. The form with _-b-_ shows a later, chiefly East Central German
development and was spread by [Martin Luther] Bible. The umlaut is attested
since the 15th century (perhaps after [de]).
