Definitions For Mallemaroking

Noun

MALLEMAROKING (uncountable) (historical, nautical) carouse, carousing on icebound greenland whaling ships.

Etymology

Generally considered to derive from {{etyl, nl, en}}, although a specific etymon is unclear. Century and some other old dictionaries derive it from a confusion of two similar {{etyl, nl, en}} words, namely *mallemerok, , foolish woman (from mal, malle, foolish + *marok, from {{etyl, fr, en}} marotte, , jester's sceptre) and *mallemok, , sailor of a whaling vessel, but the first of those words is not attested, and the second is not attested with the claimed meaning (but see mollymawk). Compare mallemolen.
