From Old Spanish maestre, from Latin magister (“leader, guide”). Coromines and Pascual consider various ways that the word could have made it through:
- as a borrowing from Old Catalan or Old Occitan maestre
- as an inherited form of the Latin vocative magister
- as an inherited form of the Latin nominative magister
Noun
maestre m (plural maestres)
- (obsolete) teacher, erudite, doctor
