But Eng.maroon is attested earlier (1666) than Fr.marron 'fugitive slave' (1701, in Furetière). If there is a connection between Eng.maroon, Fr.marron, and Sp.cimarrón, Spain (or Spanish America) probably gave the word directly to England (or English America).”

English: And if we pay attention to the testimony of Oviedo when, after having lived in Hispaniola for many years, he asserts that cimarrón "means, in the language of this island, fugitives", it would be demonstrated that we are, in fact, before an early loan of the Taíno language.”

English: In short, the reports that I am contributing here confirm thatcimarrón is an Indian word of Antillean origin, which was already used in the first third of the sixteenth century, and which has come to be another of the many Antillanisms that the conquest extended throughout the breadth of the continent and made to reflect on the metropolis itself.
