Origin

Late Middle English: from in kenebowe in Middle English, probably from Old Norse.

You might think that the odd-looking word akimbo, ‘with hands on the hips and elbows turned outwards’, derives from some exotic language. In fact it appeared in medieval English in the form in kenebowe or a kembow and was probably an alteration of an Old Norse phrase meaning ‘bent in a curve, like a horseshoe’.

Rhymes
