Etymology
1. "spotted," 1490, from L. maculatus, pp. of maculare "to make spotted, to speckle," from macula "spot, stain."
2. First attested during the last quarter of the 15th century, in Middle English; inherited from Middle English maculaten (“to spoil, polute”), borrowed from Latin maculātus, perfect passive participle of maculō (“to spot”), see -ate (verb-forming suffix) and -ate (adjective-forming suffix).
