Usage Examples

Etymology

French *mamma* (noun) comes from the Latin *mamma* “breast, milk”, which in turn derives from the Greek *μαμά* “mother”. The Latin term was adopted into French in the medieval period, primarily in medical contexts, and later entered common usage to mean a breast or a female’s mammary gland. The word has remained essentially unchanged in spelling and pronunciation since its introduction.
