Borrowed from a hypothetical Punic *𐤆𐤁𐤓 (*zbr /zibbir/, “rosemary”), found in Pseudo-Apuleius' Herbarius [c. VI century A.D.] in Latin script as zibbir. There is no doubt that the word is of Semitic origin, but has very few cognates. The closest of them appears to be Classical Syriac ܙܒܘܪܐ (zbwrʾ, “thyme”, pl.), which, despite its phonetic similarity with the Sardinian word, has a different semantic value. Compare also Akkadian 𒌑𒈛𒈥𒌅 (^(U₂)LUḪ.MAR.TU /šibburratu, sibbirru, sinpirru/, “date palm; aromatic herb”) and 𒍝𒄠𒁍𒊒𒊬 (za-am-bu-ru^(SAR) /zambūru/, “thyme”), all of which are probably akin to Sardinian.
Beyond Semitic, see also Ancient Greek σισύμβριον (sisúmbrion, “watercress”), which is likely a reduplicated form belonging to the same word family.
