noun
1.
a common European bunting, Emberiza citrinella, the male of which is marked with bright yellow.
2.
Chiefly Southern U.S. a flicker, Colaptes auratus, having yellow wing and tail linings.
Origin:
1550–60; earlier also yelamber, yelambre, probably continuing Old English *geolu-amore, equivalent to geolu yellow + amore presumably, the bunting (cognate with Old Saxon amer, Old High German amaro; see emberizine); forms with -h- perhaps reflect blending with another etymon, later conformed to hammer (compare dial. yellowham)
