Definition macabre

Etymology

Borrowed from French macabre, whose etymology is uncertain, but possibly derives from the term danse macabre – the attribute of which was construed as an adjective – most commonly believed to be from corruption of the biblical name Maccabees; compare Latin Chorea Machabaeorum.

Another theory derives the term from Spanish macabro, from Arabic ????????‎ (maq?bir, “cemeteries”), plural of ?????????‎ (maqbara) or ?????????‎ (maqbura); the plural form makes this theory less plausible.

Adjective

1. Representing or personifying death.
