'amphoral' originates from the Greek word 'amphoreus,' where 'amphi-' meant 'on both sides' and '-phoreus' meant 'bearer.'

'amphoreus' transformed into the Latin word 'amphora,' and eventually became the modern English word 'amphoral.'

Initially, it meant 'a vessel with two handles,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'resembling an amphora.'
