mason

mason
\ \ [13] English originally acquired mason in the form machun, from Anglo-Norman. In the 14th century it was remodelled as masoun or mason on the basis of Old French masson. The derivation of this is disputed. Some etymologists claim that it comes via a Vulgar Latin *matiō from prehistoric Germanic *mattjon (source of German steinmetz ‘stonemason’), but an alternative theory traces it back to a Frankish *makjo, a derivative of *makōn ‘make’.
