Etymology

Uncertain, perhaps from Basque mart- ‎(“blackberry; bramble”), as in martotx ‎(“bramble”), martsuts ~ martuza ‎(“blackberry”). Basque also gave Aragonese martuel, Catalan maduixa ‎(“strawberry”). Similar sense development in Galician amorogo, Portuguese morango ‎(“strawberry”), both from amora ‎(“blackberry; bramble”). Replaced now dialectal (a)borto, from Old Spanish alborco, from Latin arbutus. Compare Portuguese medronho.
