Where this word comes from

Probably from a Vulgar Latin root *centipollium, from Latin centipellium, centipellio (“third stomach of a ruminant”) < centum + pellium, as bagpipes were made from animal stomachs. Compare also Italian centopelle (“tripe”). Alternatively from the variant form cimpoaie, perhaps from an earlier *șimpoaie and this from Latin symphonia (compare Italian zampogna (“bagpipe”), Piedmontese ciamporgna; cf. also Portuguese sanfonha (“hurdy-gurdy”) and Romansh zampuogn (“type of bell”)) or Hungarian csimpolya, which seems more likely to have come from the Romanian word instead.
