Origin

Middle English (denoting a high-ranking officer of state): from Old French mareschal 'farrier, commander', from late Latin mariscalcus, from Germanic elements meaning 'horse' (compare with mare¹) and 'servant'.

mare from Old English:
Old English mearh ‘horse’, mere ‘mare’ are from a Germanic base with related words in Celtic languages meaning ‘stallion’. The sense ‘male horse’ died out at the end of the Middle English period. The same root lies behind marshal (Middle English), originally someone in charge of horses.

Rhymes

court-martial, impartial, martial, partial
