Where this word comes from
Uncertain. Possibly from Semitic via Ancient Greek μάρρον (márrhon); compare Akkadian marru (marru [^(GEŠ)MAR]), Classical Syriac ܡܪܐ (marra), and Arabic مَرّ (marr). Alternatively, the linguist Stefan Höfler proposes that the term may derive from Proto-Indo-European *merh₂-, whence also perhaps Proto-Celtic *marnati. According to Höfler, a hypothetical neuter s-stem *mérh₂-os (“crushing”) may have produced an adjective *mr̥h₂-s-ó- (“having crushing”), which then could have formed a noun *mr̥h₂-s-eh₂ (“crusher”). This Proto-Indo-European form may have then produced Proto-Italic *marasā, which perhaps was reduced to *marsā, which itself may have then shifted to marra.
