Etymology 1
From Proto-Italic *mari, from Proto-Indo-European *móri.
Noun
mare n (genitive maris); third declension
- sea
Declension
Third-declension noun (neuter, “pure” i-stem).
- The ablative singular can be mar? or mare.
- The genitive plural form *marium, although regularly formed for an i-stem noun, is not attested in the corpus of classical texts. Marum is found only once, in a line from Gnaeus Naevius.
- The 5th/6th-century grammarian Priscian (Institutiones 7) says it is rarely used in the genitive plural, noting Caesar's use of maribus too. Similarly, the 4th-century grammarian Charisius claims it lacks both a genitive plural *marium and a *maribus form (but see the quotation from Julius Caesar above):
"maria" tamen quamvis dicantur pluraliter, attamen nec "marium" nec "maribus" dicemus
— although maria can be said in the plural, nevertheless we won't say marium nor maribus (Ars 1.11).

Etymology 1
Several theories exist. One possibility is Latin mai?rem, masculine and feminine accusative singular of mai?r (“bigger”), irregularly clipped before the [j] ? [d??] sound change (the regular form would be *m?joare). Compare also Dalmatian maur (“large”). Another proposed etymology is Latin marem, accusative of m?s (“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 f?cut 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”). Also found in Aromanian as mari (“big, large”).
