Ὀμβρήματα, ἐκ τοῦ ὀμβρῶ, ὀμβρήσω, τὸ δὲ ὀμβρῶ παρὰ τὸ ὄμβρος, ἢ παρὰ τὸ βάρος, καθ’ ὑπερβιβασμὸν ἅβρος, τροπῇ τοῦ Α εἰς Ο, καὶ πλεονασμῷ τοῦ Μ, ὄμβρος, ὁ φερόμενος βαρέως

Ombrēmata "rains", from ombrô "to rain", <future> ombrēsō. From ombros "rain", or from baros "weight", by metathesis *abros, by change of the [a] into [o] and adjunction of [m], ombros, the heavily brought one

Etym. Gudianum, omicron, p. 427 (Ὀμβρήματα, ἐκ τοῦ ὀμβρῶ, ὀμβρήσω· τὸ δὲ ὀμβρῶ παρὰ τὸ ὄμβρος· ἢ παρὰ τὸ βάρος, καθ’ ὑπερβιβασμὸν ἄβρος, τροπῇ τοῦ α εἰς ο καὶ πλεονασμῷ τοῦ μ ὄμβρος, ὁ βαρέως φερόμενος· ἢ παρὰ τὸ ὁμοῦ καὶ τὸ ῥόος, ὅμορος καὶ ὄμβρος, ἐπειδὴ τὸ ο οὐ δύναται εἶναι πρὸ τοῦ ρ, εἴτε κατὰ διάστασιν, πλεονασμῷ τοῦ μ· καὶ γίνεται ὄμβρος); Etym. Magnum, Kallierges, p. 623 (Ὄμβρος: Παρὰ τὸ ὁμοῦ ῥεῖν, ὁμόροος, ὅμορος, καὶ συγκοπῇ ὄμρος· καὶ ἐπεὶ τὸ μ πρὸ τοῦ ρ οὐ δύναται εἶναι, πλεονάζει τὸ β, καὶ γίνεται ὄμβρος, ὁ ὁμοῦ ῥέων καὶ κατερχόμενος. Ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ φέρω κατὰ συγκοπὴν φρὸς καὶ βρὸς, καὶ προσθήκῃ τοῦ ο, ὄβρος, ὥσπερ στοῦν ὀστοῦν, καὶ πλεονασμῷ τοῦ μ, ὄμβρος. Ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ βάρος βρὸς καὶ ὄμβρος, ὁ βαρέως φερόμενος)
Comment
Choeroboscus' notice is not very clear: he gives βάρος as an alternative etymology to ὄμβρος (ὀμβρέω is derived from ὄμβρος or from βάρος), whereas what follows makes it clear that βάρος is in fact the etymon of ὄμβρος (as appears also from other sources, see Parallels), and therefore of ὀμβρέω derived from ὄμβρος. Choeroboscus starts here from the noun βάρος rather than the adjective βαρύς, because it provides the final -os of ὄμβρος. This derivational etymology implies several formal manipulations, explicit in Choeroboscus. Maybe related to the etymology of βροχή found in the Etym. Gudianum (see βροχή / βαρύς + χέω)
