Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Borrowed directly from French, where 'maquette' serves as a diminutive of 'macque' meaning a sketch or model, ultimately tracing back to the Italian 'macchietta' (a small spot or sketch). It entered English art and architectural vocabulary in the 20th century to specifically designate a preliminary three-dimensional scale model.
