Where it comes from
Unknown. Cognate to Aromanian mãtsucã. Often considered to be from the Vulgar Latin root *matteūca, itself from *mattea or Latin mateola + a suffix *-ūca, of possibly Gallic origin (compare French massue, Occitan maçuga, Portuguese maça, machuca, Old Galician-Portuguese massuca, Italian mazza, mazzocca, Venetan mazuco), or an expressive creation based on the root măc-. Compare also Italian maciulla, Spanish machucar. The first element may derive ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mat- (“hoe, plow”).
Alternatively from Vulgar Latin mattiūca, itself from Late Latin mattia.
