Etymology

From Medieval Latin mergō, mergōnem, from Latin mergus (“diver, loon”). The sense of “carpenter” evolved from “one who repairs ships underwater” (in the Venetian Arsenal). Compare the semantic development of Italian palombaro (“deep-sea diver”), from palumbārius (“a kind of hawk which attacks doves”). Cognate with Italian marangone (“cormorant”).
