In summary

Inherited from Middle French maçon (“mason”) from Old French maçon, masson, machun (“brick-layer”), from Late Latin maciōnem, machiō (“carpenter, brick-layer”) (attested 7th century by Isidore de Séville), of Germanic origin, from a derivative of Frankish *makōn (“to build, make, work”), from Proto-Indo-European *mag- (“to knead, mix, make”), conflated with Frankish *mati (“cutter”), from Proto-Germanic *matją, *mattjuk (“ploughshare, mattock”), from Proto-Indo-European *mat- (“hoe, mattock”). Akin to Old High German steinmezzo (“stone mason”), mahhōn (“to make, work”). More at make, mattock.
