Latin edit

Etymology edit

Origin unknown. Traditionally theorized to be from Proto-Indo-European *méryos (“young man”), whence Proto-Indo-Iranian *máryas (“young man”), Sanskrit मर्य (márya, “suitor, young man”), Ancient Greek μεῖραξ (meîrax, “young girl”), and Old Armenian մարի (mari, “female bird, hen”). But this cannot account for the resultant phonetics, particularly the a-vocalism.

It has been connected with masturbor and with mālus (“pole”).
