ipa :/ˈma.re/[Etymology 1]
editSeveral theories exist. One possibility is Latin maiōrem, masculine and feminine accusative singular of maiōr (“bigger”), irregularly clipped before the [j] → [d͡ʒ] sound change (the regular form would be *măjoare). Compare also Dalmatian maur (“large”). Another proposed etymology is Latin marem, accusative of mās (“male, man”) (however, the reason for the shift in meaning or the exact semantic development is uncertain; it may be because men are generally larger than women, or from a crossing with magnus, or more likely from use in idiomatic expressions (with equivalents found in many languages) such as s-a făcut mare, which can mean "he has grown up/grown older/become a man or adult", and this may have been eventually extended to mean "he/she has grown bigger", with the sense of the word shifting from "man/adult" to "big"). Less likely is the influence from mare (“sea”)[1]. Also found in Aromanian as mari (“big, large”).

WMGI's new format, of which I heard a mere 20 minutes last night around 8, seemed to be brighter and much more uptempo. I imagine they've got the youngest stuff (i.e., the rap) dayparted into evenings only, and are being much less adventurous mornings.
