Where it comes from
English usage from 1825, from German Maar, of uncertain origin (see the German entry for theories), possibly from Vulgar Latin *mara (“standing water”), from Latin mare (“sea”), and thus a Doublet of mare (“a large, dark plain; a lake on Titan”) and mere (“a body of standing water”).
