Word origin
The word 'ebon' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French term 'ebene', which in turn comes from Latin 'ebenus' and Greek 'ebenos', meaning ebony. Ebony wood has long been prized for its deep black color and luxurious appearance, leading to the use of 'ebon' to describe a similar shade.
