Etymology
Latin: bombus
Old English: bumbele
Meaning and Origin
The word "bumble bee" has been used in English since at least the 14th century. It is an onomatopoeic word, meaning that it imitates the sound of a bee buzzing. It is likely that the word was coined from the Latin word "bombus," which means "a buzzing sound." The Old English word "bumbele" may have been influenced by the Latin word, but it is also possible that it is a native English word.
Over time, the word "bumble bee" has come to refer specifically to a type of bee that is larger, rounder, and hairier than most other types of bees. Bumble bees are social insects that live in colonies and are known for their gentle nature. They are important pollinators of many plants, including fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
