Spanish

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Ultimately from Vulgar Latin minimāre, a verb based on Latin minimus (“least”). Considering its rather late date of first attestation in Spanish (1603) and the absence of an inherited Portuguese counterpart, Coromines & Pascual suppose it was likely borrowed, through mercantile contacts, from Occitan mermar, a term well-attested since the twelfth century.[1]

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /meɾˈmaɾ/ [meɾˈmaɾ]
  • Rhymes: -aɾ
  • Syllabification: mer‧mar

Verb

[edit]

mermar (first-person singular present mermo, first-person singular preterite mermé, past participle mermado)

  1. to reduce
    Synonyms: disminuir, rebajar, reducir
