Where this word comes from

From Proto-Italic *amβikʷolos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂m̥bʰi-kʷol(h₁)-ós, from *h₂m̥bʰí (“around, at the side”) + *kʷel(h₁)- (whence colō (“to till, cultivate; to inhabit”)). Cognate with Ancient Greek ἀμφίπολος (amphípolos, “attendant, follower”), Old Persian [script needed] (ābicarīš, “place inhabited or tilled by servants”, acc.pl.) and Sanskrit अभिचर (abhicara, “servant”) (cf. also अभिचार (abhicārá, “witchcraft”)).
