Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French martrine.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Old French martrine, marterine marten (see below), marten fur (12th cent.), use as noun of martrin , marterin (adjective) relating to the marten (12th cent., especially with peau pelt) < martre (see marter n.¹) + -in -ine suffix¹. Compare post-classical Latin martrinus, marterinus, adjective (early 9th cent.; from 11th cent. in British sources, especially with pellis pelt) and noun (denoting both ‘marten fur’ and (near pellis) ‘marten’; from 12th cent. in British sources; also as martrina); it is uncertain whether the post-classical Latin forms marthrinus, martherinus, adjective (11th cent. in Old Saxon sources) should be taken as implying the existence of an Old Saxon form (compare Middle Dutch marterijn, adjective). Compare also post-classical Latin martyna, martynia marten (1242, 1243 respectively in British sources, both near pellis pelt).In Old French martrine appears chiefly in the phrase piaus de martrines marten fur; it was not adopted as the standard name of the animal in French (although Cotgrave (1611) cites French martin in this sense). In English marten had completely superseded marter n.¹ as the usual word for the animal and its fur by the end of the 16th cent. The adoption of marten as the standard form may have been reinforced by association with martin n.³ (compare quot. 1589 at sense 2a).

1. The fur or dressed skin of a marten (see sense 2a). Formerly frequently in plural.
