köken: Borrowed from Mozarabic *marčiṭ(o), from Vulgar Latin *marcītus, past participle for Late Latin marcīre, from Latin marcēre. Doublet of marcido.
köken: Either from a Vulgar Latin root *vēscidus, from Latin vēscus, or more likely from Late Latin viscidus (deriving from an alternative sense closer to that of "bitter" or "sour" as opposed to "sticky", the standard one), from Latin viscum (“mistletoe”). Cognate to Aromanian veashtid. Compare also Albanian vjeshtë (“fall, autumn”).
