Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Saxon mongari , Old High German mangari , mengari , Old Icelandic mangari , probably directly < classical Latin mangō dealer, trader (see mango n.2), with substitution of the Germanic base of -er suffix1 for the Latin agent-noun suffix; compare also mong v. With sense 2 compare Old Saxon flesmongere, Middle High German vleischmanger, Old Icelandic kjöt-mangari butcher.Also apparently commonly attested in surnames from the late 13th cent., as Thom' Mangar (1279), and in place names from the early 13th cent., as Mangertone (1207; now Mangerton, Dorset), Mangersford (1442; Devon). Compounds are also commonly attested in surnames from the late 12th or early 13th cent., as Haimanger (see quot. c1191-1210 at sense 2), Heymonger (see quot. 1297 at sense 2), Adam le Henmongere (1263), Le Hennemongere (1312), and in place names, as Haymongeregate (1240; street name in York).
1.
a. A merchant, trader, dealer, or trafficker (frequently of a specified commodity); (from the 16th cent.) a person engaged in a petty or disreputable trade or traffic.Sometimes short for an established compound such as cheesemonger (see sense 2), where the context makes this clear.
