MARE

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 698 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARE , the
English
 
term
  for the
female
  of any animal of the family Equidae, of the ass, or zebra, but particularly of the
horse
 . It is also used of the camel. To find a " mare's
nest
  " is an old proverbial saying for a purely imaginary discovery. In " night-mare," an oppressive or terrifying
dream
 , the termination is a word appearing as mar, maer and
mara
  in various Teutoniclanguages for a goblin, supposed to sit on a sleeper's chest and cause these dreams: cf. elf. This Teutonic word also appears in the
French
  cauchemar, the first
part
  being from caucher, to tread or trample upon, Lat. calcare.
