Etymology
Probably from a- + mazza (“club, baton”) + -are, or alternatively possibly related to Latin mactāre, through a Vulgar Latin root *mactiāre, although this is less likely. Compare Sicilian ammazzari, Spanish mazar, Portuguese maçar, Occitan massar, Romansch mazzar, Venetan masar, Friulian maçâ, Istriot masà. See also archaic Italian mattare.
