German[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Middle High German marschalc (“officer in charge of the royal horse stables”), from Old High German marahscalc (“groom; ostler”). Equivalent to Mähre (“mare”) + Schalk (“rogue”).
The modern word has been influenced, both phonetically and semantically, by French maréchal, from Old French mariscal, itself of Germanic origin and hence etymologically the same word.
