Etymology
In summary
From Middle Dutch makelare. By surface analysis, makelen + -aar, but the verb is thought to be secondary to this noun rather than the other way around (although the details are unclear). Middle Dutch makelare may in fact be borrowed from Middle Low German mēkeler. Compare German Makler.
