Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Possibly cognate with magu (“to rear, to raise, to nuture”), or from earlier *bac, derived from Latin bāca (“berry, olive”). If from Latin, the /m/ would be a backformation from the soft-mutated form facon, cf. mantais (“advantage”), melfaréd (“velveret”), melfed (“velvet”), mentr (“venture”), mursen (“coquette; damselfly”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
macon f (collective, singulative maconen)
