Where this word comes from

From German Low German Macker (“companion; guy”), first attested in 1771 and hence possibly borrowed from Dutch makker (“mate, fellow”) (1557). Further origin uncertain, but likely related to Old Saxon gimaco (“companion”), Old English maca, ġemaca (“companion, mate, wife, one suited to another, idem”), Old Norse maki (whence Swedish make (“husband”)), from Proto-Germanic *makkô, *gamakkô, *makô, *gamakô (“an equal; comrade”), from Proto-Indo-European *mag- (“to knead, work”). Compare also French mec, which is of uncertain origin, but probably from Dutch.
