Talk:madrigal

Etymology
I took Latin in secondary school and my teacher, several classmates and I concluded that the derivation of the Noun, though unclear, indicates several possible related origins:

From dialectal madregal < from medieval Latin matricale < from neuter of matricalis simple < from late Latin of the womb < from Latin: matric-, matrix womb, from mater mother.

Thus, the vocal music and poem forms of the Madrigal Nouns possibly mean "in the mother tongue".
