ResumoClick to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes Notes 1 Many possible etymologies exist for the word zombie (Ackermann and Gauthier). Some have argued in favor of French, Arawak, or West and Central African roots. Most commentators lean toward the African influence, which possesses many examples of phonetically similar words, even though they may differ in meaning. 2 As, for example, in Seabrook's bestseller The Magic Island, which was also the main source of inspiration for the film White Zombie.
