Re:tambourin n.
5Fr, dim. of tambour: see TAMBOUR6
1 a long drum used in Provence
2 a sprightly dance of Provence, or music for it
Tam/tambor show up in all sorts of drum/drum like words..
tamborine, Tam-tam/tom-tom, Tambor work (embroidery done in on fabric stretched tight in a hoop), there are savory little custards, cooked in small straight sides pans, that also have drum like shape, called timbals -which go back to the same root word. and these are the ones i think of off the top of my head!
