"mazer" meaning in English

See mazer in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈmeɪzə/ Forms: mazers [plural]
Rhymes: -eɪzə(ɹ) Etymology: From Middle English maser, mazer, masere, from Anglo-Norman mazer, Old French mazre (“a kind of maple wood”), from Frankish *masur, from Proto-Germanic *masuraz, cognate with Old High German masar (German Maser (“spot”)), Icelandic mösurr (“maple”). It has been suggested that the English word might instead come from Old English *mæser, *maser (suggested by a putative derivative mæseren), but the evidence for this is slight and disputed.
