Etimologia (Inglês)

Herdado de latim: mactō

Herdado de latim: moriō

In summary

From Old Galician-Portuguese matar, probably from Latin mactāre (through Vulgar Latin *mattāre). The development of -ct- would be irregular, however. Hence possibly derived from or influenced by Late Latin mattus (“drunk, intoxicated”), related to madidus. Another possibility is an influence by Arabic مَاتَ (māta, “to die”).
The short past participle is derived from Latin morīre, an unrelated verb that means "to die."
