Traditionally derived from māter (mother, at least in the sense of 'source') + -ia, in which case cognate with Old Armenian մայր (mayr, cedar) and մայրի (mayri, forest). More recently, referred to Proto-Indo-European *dem-. Sense 1 is a semantic loan from Ancient Greek ὕλη (húlē, hylē), introduced by Cicero.[1]
