Etymology

Inherited from Middle French marri, from Old French mari (“grieved, sad”), past participle of marir (“to get angry, become distressed”), from Frankish *marʀijan (“to hinder, prevent, make angry”), from Proto-Germanic *marzijaną (“to prevent, obstruct, spoil”), from Proto-Indo-European *mers- (“to trouble, confuse, ignore, forget”). Cognate with Old High German marrjan, marren (“to prevent, bother, make angry”). Compare also Old French esmeriz (“flustered, grieved”), from the same source. More at maraud, mar.
