​ Morast, m., ‘morass,’ ModHG. only from LG. moras; comp. Du. moras, moeras, E. morass, MidE. mareis. The cognates, as is indicated by the non-Teut. accent, are borrowed from Rom.; comp. Ital. marese, Fr. marais, MidLat. maragium, ‘morass, swamp.’ The o of the Teut. words is due to their being connected with Moor. Unknown to Suab. and Bav.
