DERIVATION

It is certain, in view of continental exemples, that we should read -t- for -c- in AI's form; confusion of these two letters was common in medieval scripts. The name means 'the ford at the bend (of the river)'', a more natural solution than the ' crooked ford ' suggested by Jackson. For the first element, see CAMBODUNUM; for the second, ANDERITUM. The name is found in Gaul : Camboritum > Chambord (Loir-et-Cher, France), and there are three other instances. P. Lebel in RIO, XIV (1962), 171, suggests (in line with his remark about Cambodunum) that *cambo- here has the secondary sense 'dangereux', the whole meaning ' le gué qui peut faire du tort', but this seems strained.

IDENTIFICATION. Probably the Roman settlement at Lackford, Suffolk (TL 7871), where the Icknield Way crosses the river Lark.

Explication, selon Rivet & Smith : le gué dans la courbe de la rivière.
