Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryAn evergreen tree, Ilex paraguariensis, native to South America, cultivated for its leaves. · A beverage, resembling tea, made from the dried leaves of this plant. · A cup of this drink. · The container used to prepare this drink, traditionally a small calabash.
Borrowed from Spanish mate, from Quechua mati. Here, as well as in the matë variant, the unetymologically accented e serves the purpose in English of marking that vowel as pronounced, as in latte, rather than silent as in mate.
