Where this word comes from
Ultimately from the same source as Oscan 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌄𐌓𐌕- (mamert-), Latin Mārs and Mārcus. Perhaps as a less Latinized form of Māmur(r)ius, a Latinization (via suffix replacement) of Etruscan 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌖𐌓k𐌄𐌔 (mamurkes), an alternative form of 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌀𐌓𐌂𐌄𐌔, 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌄𐌓𐌂𐌄𐌔 (mamarces, mamerces); the latter borrowed unadapted as Māmercus. The /rj > rr/ is characteristic of Oscan; the varying treatment of /ar/ rather of Etruscan. The Etruscan name itself was a borrowing (likely from Oscan), possibly formed as *Māmart-ikos. For the suffix interchange, compare spurcus and spurius, also potential borrowings from Etruscan.
