Etymology
Inherited from Old French megre, meigre, from Latin macrum, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mh₂ḱrós. The variant dialectal form maire is the normal phonetic result; the main form with -gr- was perhaps influenced by analogy with aigre, or may be semi-learned. See: Latin Adjectives '
macer'.
