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

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman mauvis, mauviz, malviz, mavis, maviz, mawisse and Middle French mauvis, malvis (c1165 in Old French; French mauvis, now in sense ‘redwing’), of uncertain origin. Compare post-classical Latin maviscus (1348; from c1400 in British sources), Spanish malvís (probably < French), also post-classical Latin malvitius, malvicius (in Du Cange s.v. in a treatise on hunting with hawks attributed to the Emperor Frederick II (1194–1250); 14th cent. in a British source), and a number of Italian regional forms, e.g. Italian regional (Sicily) malvizzu. Französisches Etymol. Wörterbuch s.v. mæw takes the French word, like Old French mave (Middle French, French regional mauve ), Middle French, French mouette seagull, and Anglo-Norman maviz , mauviz type of seabird (glossing classical Latin fulica ), to be ultimately < mew n.¹ or one of its Germanic cognates, although the semantic development is difficult to account for. Anglo-Norman mauviz also occurs glossing classical Latin merula merle n.¹ Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v. records use from Scotland, Ireland, northern England, East Anglia, Northamptonshire, and Bedfordshire.

1. The song thrush, Turdus philomelos. Also in extended use. Now poetic and British regional.
