An old word for a bumblebee or flying insect that makes a humming sound; also used as a fanciful or bumbling character name.
From drumble (slow, confused) + dore (possibly from Old English doran or imitative element). The term is archaic English, appearing in 17th-century texts as a whimsical word for bumblebees.
J.K. Rowling named her Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore after this obscure English word for bumblebee—she loved that it sounded magical and bumbling at once!
