Adjective

IPA: /ˈmɑ.kɑz/
Etymology: Of uncertain origin; there exist numerous formations across Indo-European branches with similar semantics and phonetics involving a bilabial nasal *m initial and a velar or palatovelar *k, *g, *ḱ, *ǵ final in the root, albeit with subtle phonetic issues that are difficult to reconcile. Kroonen tentatively derives the adjective from a Proto-Indo-European *meg- (“to be comfortable, pleasant”), and connects Old Irish mám (“yoke”) (< *mag-mo-), Lithuanian mė́gti (“to like”) (< *meg-ye-). He rejects other theories, which take the form of the Indo-European root as *meh₂ǵ-, *meh₂ḱ- (“to knead”) and connect Ancient Greek μάσσω (mássō, “to handle, knead”) (see there for more), instead postulating that the original sense was more likely "to match, put together" rather than "to knead". However, Derksen considers the Lithuanian to derive from a different root, rendering Kroonen's theory more uncertain.

He rejects other theories, which take the form of the Indo-European root as *meh₂ǵ-, *meh₂ḱ- (“to knead”) and connect Ancient Greek μάσσω (mássō, “to handle, knead”) (see there for more), instead postulating that the original sense was more likely \"to match, put together\" rather than \"to knead\". However, Derksen considers the Lithuanian to derive from a different root, rendering Kroonen's theory more uncertain.",
