maestron.

Brit.

/ˈmʌɪstrəʊ/, U.S.

/ˈmaɪstroʊ/

Inflections: Plural maestri, maestros.

Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian maestro.

Etymology: < Italian maestro (13th cent. in senses 1 and 2; late 16th cent. denoting spec. a composer or the conductor of a group of musicians) < classical Latin magister master n.¹ Compare French maestro (1817 in sense 1b).The specific use in Italian in sense 2 (and hence its derivative maestrale n.) probably ultimately shows the same semantic development as lies behind mistral n. (see note at that entry), although the words denote different winds.

1. A master.

a. With capital initial. A title or form of address designating someone (originally esp. an Italian) who is a master of or who has achieved eminence in a skill or profession, esp. a musician.
