Definitions

  1. paint or stain like marble

Word origin

Inherited from Middle English marble, marbre; from Anglo-Norman and Old French marbre, from Latin marmor, from Ancient Greek μάρμαρος (mármaros), perhaps related to μαρμάρεος (marmáreos, “gleaming”). The forms from French displaced Old English marma, which had previously been borrowed from Latin.

Used in a sentence

  • Open thy marble jaws, O tomb / And hide me, earth, in thy dark womb.
  • The Elgin Marbles were originally part of the temple of the Parthenon.
  • The marble is graded using the Australian system.
