The answer
AMBER
What amber means
A hard, translucent fossilized resin from ancient trees, typically yellow to orange-brown in color and often containing preserved insects or plant material.
Where the word comes from
Amber comes from Middle English and Old French *ambre*, ultimately derived from Arabic *ʿanbar* (ambergris). The word originally referred to ambergris, a waxy substance from whales, before shifting to mean the fossilized tree resin. The amber resin later took the name because of its similar golden-yellow color and valuable status, though the two substances are entirely different.
