The Spanish word 'timbiriche' comes from the Purépecha (an indigenous language of Mexico) word 'tumbiriche', which itself derives from 'tumbire'. In Purépecha, these words meant 'cluster' or 'bunch'. When the word was borrowed into Spanish, it underwent a slight vowel change from 'u' to 'i', and its meaning evolved to refer to a small retail store (perhaps because such stores often featured clusters of various goods) and also to a popular grid-based game in Mexico.

Since 'timbiriche' comes from Purépecha, an indigenous Mexican language, there aren't any simpler or more common Spanish words that share its etymology.

There aren't any common English words related to 'timbiriche' since it comes from Purépecha, an indigenous Mexican language that had no influence on English vocabulary.
