nounmasculinean-steman equal; comrade; mate; matchAn old n-stem as evidenced by the Kluge's law variant *makkô, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *móg-ō, from *meg-, *mog- (‘to knead, work’) (alternatively *mag-, *meh₂ǵ-, *meh₂ḱ-; various sets of cognates and meanings suggested). In any case from the same root as *makaz (‘fitting, suitable, convenient, comfortable’); see there for the root reconstruction.
