From Medieval Latin mergō, mergōnem, from Latin mergus (“diver (loon)”)[2]. The sense of "carpenter" evolved from "one who repairs ships underwater (in the Venetian Arsenal)"[3]. Compare the semantic development of Italian palombaro (“deep-sea diver”), from palumbārius (“a kind of hawk which attacks doves”). Cognate with Romansch marangun (“carpenter”).
