Definition marble
Etymology
Borrowed from Anglo-Norman and Old French marbre, from Latin marmor, from Ancient Greek ???????? (mármaros), perhaps related to ????????? (marmáreos, “gleaming”). Much of the early classical marble came from the 'Marmaris' sea above the Aegean. The forms from French replaced Old English marma, which had previously been borrowed from Latin.
