marten (mammal)
Meaning & usage
marten (mammal)
Where this word comes from
From Middle Dutch marter, maerter, martel, which is generally believed to be a reborrowing from Old French martre, itself from Proto-West Germanic *marþr (“marten”), which see. Alternatively, however, the irregular /t/ (instead of *marder) might be due to a special development of West Germanic *þ in the difficult cluster *rþr (either early stopping to *rtr or otherwise failure to undergo voicing to [rðr]). Compare Low German Moter, e.g. around Paderborn, where French influence is less plausible.
