"marter" meaning in Dutch

See marter in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈmɑr.tər/ Audio: nl-marter.ogg Forms: marters [plural], martertje [diminutive, neuter]
Etymology: From Middle Dutch marter, maerter, martel, which is generally believed to be a reborrowing from Old French martre, itself from Proto-West Germanic *marþr (“marten”), which see. Alternatively, however, the irregular /t/ (instead of *marder) might be due to a special development of West Germanic *þ in the difficult cluster *rþr (either early stopping to *rtr or otherwise failure to undergo voicing to [rðr]). Compare Low German Moter, e.g. around Paderborn, where French influence is less plausible.
