Etymology

Considered a word of unknown origin.[1][2] Probably an Iranian borrowing: compare Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (mlk' /⁠marag⁠/, quantity, number), whence Georgian მარაგი (maragi, fund, hoard, spare, spares, stockpile, store). Thus, the original meaning was "provisions, store". On the ultimate origin of the Iranian see Cheung.[3]
