Etymology

Attested since at least the 16th century, from an underlying Middle High German *mar(e). Adopted into scientific parlance during the 19th century from Central Franconian dialects of the Eifel region, home to many maars, which often include the word in their names. The Central Franconian term also has the broader sense of “pool, cesspit, swamp”, which touches on Middle High German muor (“bog”) or is even merged with it (cf. Luxembourgish Muer and Mouer). Further origin uncertain, but surely related with the root of Meer and Moor. Plausibly a borrowing from Latin mare, perhaps through Vulgar Latin mara. Doublet of Mare and Meer. See: Latin Nouns 'mare'.
