Etymology
1. 1491 (implied in
maceration), from L.
maceratus, pp. of
macerare "soften," related to
maceria "garden wall," originally "of kneaded clay," from PIE base
*mag-/*meg- "to knead" (cf. Gk.
magis "kneaded mass, cake,"
mageus "one who kneads, baker;" O.C.S.
mazo "to anoint, smear;" Bret.
meza "to knead;" M.Ir.
maistir "to churn").
2. First attested in 1534; borrowed from Latin mācerātus, perfect passive participle of mācerō (see -ate (etymology 1, 2 and 3)), from Proto-Indo-European *mag-, *mak- (“to knead”), whence make. Cognate with French macérer. See: French '
macérer'.

“My dear child, how are you employed?” I knew the voice of the Superior, and I replied, “My father, I was sleeping.” “And I was macerating myself at the foot of the altar for you, my child,—the scourge is red with my blood.” I returned no answer, for I felt the maceration was better merited by the betrayer than the betrayed.
