1769 J. Banks Jrnl. (1962) I. 338 The dress of the men differs but little from this; their bodys are rather more bare, and instead of the petticoat they have a peice of Cloth passed between their leggs and round their waists (Maro).

1779 D. Samwell Jrnl. 4 Feb. in J. Cook Jrnls. III. ii. 1179 A piece of Cloth called Maro about 2 hands broad, tyed round the waist.

1798 E. Townsend Jrnl. 27 Aug. in Papers New Haven Hist. Soc. (1888) IV. i. 72 Their dress is the merro, which is a narrow piece of cloth about six inches wide, carried around the waist and in a peculiar manner between their legs.

1833 A. Smith in M. D. Frear Lowell & Abigail (1934) 63 Many others wear nothing but a narrow strip of tapa about their loins, called a maro.

1860 M. Reid Odd People 213 A coarser and scantier pareu is to be seen among the poorer people,..and not unfrequently this is only a mere strip wrapped around the loins; in other words, a ‘malo’, ‘maro’, or ‘maso’—as it is indifferently written in the varied orthography of the voyagers.

1898 F. T. Bullen Cruise ‘Cachalot’ xxiii. 296 All..were furnished only with a ‘maro’ of ‘tapa’, scanty in its proportions, but still enough to wrap round their loins.

1928 R. Firth Diary 2 Dec. in Current Anthropol. (1988) 29 337/2 Presented maro to Ariki Taumako today to smooth things over.
