Ausgesprochen als (IPA)

[ˈmar.ke.oː]

De Vaan derives the verb from Proto-Indo-European *mr̥k-eh₁-, from a root *merk- (“to be soaked; to be weak”), and compares Hittite [script needed] (markii̯e/a-, “to disapprove of, refuse”), Sanskrit मृच् (mṛc, “to injure”), Lithuanian mer̃kti (“to soak”), Middle High German meren (“to dip bread into water or wine”). The proposed connections with murcus, ἀμόργη (amórgē), Proto-Celtic *mrakis (“malt”) and Lithuanian markýti (“to macerate, to ret”) are problematic for various reasons.
