Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish marrano.
Etymology: < Spanish marrano converted Jew or Muslim (13th cent.), further etymology disputed.Traditionally many lexicographers have accepted the derivation of Spanish marrano converted Jew or Muslim < Spanish marrano hog (10th cent.), assuming use of the latter as a term of abuse. A development of this notion suggests the derivation in turn of Spanish marrano hog < Arabic maḥram (colloquial Spanish Arabic maḥran ) something forbidden or taboo < ḥaruma to be forbidden (compare harem n.). However, other etymologies have been suggested for Spanish marrano hog. Y. Malkiel in Jrnl. Amer. Oriental Soc. (1948) 68 175–184 argues that Spanish marrano pig is < classical Latin verrēs boar, and that Spanish marrano convert is historically unrelated. He derives Spanish marrano convert < late Arabic (especially Andalusian) barrānī rural, foreign, immigrant < barr land, field, though his reasoning is unconvincing from the point of view of Arabic scholarship. However, his view that the two Spanish words are distinct is plausible, and if it is accepted, the most likely source of Spanish marrano convert is Spanish Arabic muḥarram (colloquial muḥarran ) excommunicated, past participle of the attested ḥarram(a) to excommunicate. Jewish and Muslim converts would, rightly or wrongly, be thought to practise their old religion in private and ipso facto be excommunicates. A further suggested etymology is < post-classical Latin Maran Atha Maranatha adv., interpreted as ‘accursed’. H. and R. Kahane in Harvard Theol. Rev. (1964) 54 23–38 suggest that the Aramaic etymon of this word may first have been used as a curse by Jews of Jews that had newly converted to Christianity, though this has not met with widespread support. The Spanish word was used insultingly of converts to Christianity from Judaism and Islam. By the 16th cent., its derivatives were present in this sense in several Romance languages (quot. 1561 is < Italian marràno (attested from the 15th cent.), quot. 1569 is < post-classical Latin maranus , and quots. 1583 and 1585 are < Middle French maran, marran (attested from the 15th cent.), marrane (attested from the early 16th cent.; by 1584 used as an insulting term for any Spaniard)). The Spanish word ceased to be used as an insult within Spain by the end of the 16th cent. It is uncertain whether an earlier use of the present word is shown by the following quotation (referring to the conduct of imperial forces in Rome):1527 in State Papers Henry VIII (1849) VI. 583 Agaynst pristes and churchis they have behavyd thaymselfes as it doth become Marranys and Lutherans to do.
Now historical.
