Ital. madrigale ‘madrigal’ has, at an earlier date, been derived from mandra ‘herd’ and other etyma; the etymology which has received acceptance in most quarters has been that from matricale ( carmen ) '(song) in the mother tongue or vernacular'. As a recent attempt has been made to revive the Renaissance derivation from materiale ‘coarse > bastard (poetical form)‘, it may be of value to call attention to the arguments against this etymon and in favor of matricale
