Etymology uredi
From Engleski symbol, from Francuski symbole, from Latinski symbolus, symbolum (“a sign, mark, token, symbol, in Late Latin also a creed”), from Antički Grčki σύμβολον (súmbolon, “a sign by which one infers something; a mark, token, badge, ticket, tally, check, a signal, watchword, outward sign”).

Usage notes uredi
Being a word borrowed from English derived from Greek, the y in symbol is pronounced /ɨ̞, ɪ/ rather than expected /ə/. To preserve consistency between pronunciation and spelling, some prefer to spell this word sumbol. Nevertheless, symbol is the more common spelling of the two. See pyramid/puramid, synthesis/sunthesis, system/sustem for similar examples.
