! I spend quite a bit of time reading about the Octroi of the VOC - its document of establishment. I've also run across martelen and marteling in Dutch as punishment or torture, which made me wonder if the word "martinet" came from the same root at all. ...but when I tried to look that up my free dictionary site redirected me to google ads for match.com that said "Meet Naughty Girls - Free. 1,409 Bad Girls are within your Area. Easy & Free to Join!" so I didn't feel like carrying on.
