marine

== English == === Etymology === Recorded since c.1420 as Middle English marin, borrowed from Middle French marin, from Old French, from Latin marinus (“of the sea”), itself from mare (“sea”), from Proto-Indo-European *móri (“body of water, lake”) (cognate with Old English mere (“sea, lake, pool, pond”), Dutch meer, German Meer, all from Proto-Germanic *mari). The modern pronunciation is presumably due to the influence of modern French marine, feminine singular of marin. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /məˈɹiːn/, Rhymes: -iːn (obsolete) IPA(key): /ˈmæɹɪn/, /məˈɹaɪn/ Hyphenation: ma‧rine === Adjective === marine (comparative more marine, superlative most marine) Belonging to or characteristic of the sea; existing or found in the sea; formed or produced by the sea.
