Where this word comes from
Inherited from Malay mahal, probably from Javanese [script needed] (mahal), clipping of [script needed] (maharga) (cf. Sundanese mahal), from Old Javanese maharga, ultimately from Sanskrit महार्घ (mahārgha). Equivalent to blend of maha + harga. Not related to mahar, its true cognate would be mitra.
