[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unclear. It could be a borrowing from a South Slavic language, compare Serbo-Croatian morač (Svane).[1] According to Çabej, it derives from Latin amaracus (“marjoram”). Another possibility is a borrowing from Vulgar Latin *marathrium, *marathricum, from Latin marathrum.[2][3] See also Romanian mărar.
