Roux represents the Acadian influence on Gumbo, Gambo is a regional African name for both okra and a stew tradtiionally made amongst the Creole peoples of the Carribean. Another traditional thickener is File (filay) which is added just after serving which thickens as it cools. From what I have read, gumbo was really just another word for stew, but, one that found resonance amongst the Acadian and Creole peoples of that region.
