Brit.

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

Etymology: < French marabout (16th cent. in Middle French as moabite , morabuth ; 1840 in sense 2) < Portuguese †maraboto (1552), marabuto (1588) < Maghribi Arabic mrābəṭ , colloquial variant of literary Arabic murābiṭ , originally ‘soldier attached to a fortified town (Arabic ribāṭ ) on the border of the Islamic empire’, in later use (with emphasis on the religious nature of such towns and their inhabitants) ‘holy man, hermit’, use as noun of plural of past participle of rabaṭ to tie, bind. Compare Spanish morabito , †morabuto (16th cent.). The a in the Romance forms was inserted for euphonic reasons, as the initial consonant cluster of the Maghribi Arabic etymon would have been difficult to pronounce for speakers of Romance languages. Compare marabou n.², marabut n., maravedi n., and Almoravid n.

1. A Muslim holy man or mystic, esp. in north-western Africa, usually living apart as an ascetic.
