köken: From Italian imbroglio (“tangle”), from imbrogliare (“to tangle”), cognate with and probably from an earlier form of French embrouiller (“muddle, embroil”), from em- (“en-”) + brouiller. Doublet of embrouille.
köken: Uncertain. Speculated to be a crossing of sicutera and tiri (as a mishearing of the Kyrie in the Kyrie, eleison formula), with sicutera being a univerbation of Latin sicut erat, part of the prayer to the Glory of God.
