Etymology

Cognate with Latvian marsna (baptism sheet), of uncertain further origin. Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *merg- (net cloth), and compared with Latvian marga (railing, gallery), Proto-Slavic *mèrža (net), and Ancient Greek βρόχος (brókhos, noose, snare);[1] however, Smoczynski is skeptical due to the mismatch in phonetics of the Lithuanian term's -š(k)- with the *-g- in the Proto-Indo-European,[2] and the hypothetical change from *g to š(k) would have to be explained.[3]
