Этимология

() The phrase is derived from the Gaelic word mearachd, an error, a mistake; mearachdaich, mistake, err, miss; and the Gaelic word Nothaist (t silent—no-haist), a foolish person, an idiot. As a result, the Gaelic phrase mearachd-nothaist corrupted in English into mare's nest - the error of a fool.
