Marid (Arabic:ماردmārid) is an Arabic word meaning rebellious, which is sometimes applied to supernatural beings.
In Arabic sources
The word mārid is an active participle of the root m-r-d (مرد), whose primary meaning is recalcitrant, rebellious. Lisān al-`arab, the encyclopedic dictionary of classical Arabic compiled by Ibn Manzur, reports only forms of this general meaning. It is found as an attribute of evil spirits in the Qur'an (aṣ-Ṣāffāt, 37:7), which speaks of a "safeguard against every rebellious devil" (شَيْطَانٍ مَارِدٍ, shaitān mārid). The Wehr-Cowan dictionary of modern written Arabic also gives secondary meanings of demon and giant. Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon cites a source where it "is said to be applied to an evil jinnee of the most powerful class," but this distinction is by no means universal. For example, in standard Arabic editions of One Thousand and One Nights one finds the words marid and ifrit used interchangeably (see, e.g., The Story of the Fisherman in the MacNaghten edition.)
The marid first appeared in first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in Dragon #66 (October 1982). The marid then appeared in the adventure module The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (1982), and was reprinted in the first edition Monster Manual II (1983).
The marid appeared in second edition under the "genie" heading in Monstrous Compendium Volume Two (1989), and in the Monstrous Manual (1993). The noble marid and the Great Padisha of the Marids appeared for the Al-Qadim setting in the Monstrous Compendium Al-Qadim Appendix (1992). The marid appeared under the genie of Zakhara heading in the Land of Fate boxed set (1992).
MARID was an IETF working group in the applications area tasked to propose standards for E-mail authentication in 2004.
The name is an acronym of MTA Authorization Records In DNS.
Background
Lightweight MTA Authentication Protocol
(LMAP) was a generic name for a set of
'designated sender' proposals that were discussed
in the ASRG in the Fall of 2003, including:
These schemes attempt to list the valid IP
addresses that can send mail for a domain.
The lightweight in LMAP essentially stands
for no crypto as opposed to DomainKeys.
In March 2004, the
Internet Engineering Task Force IETF
held a BoF on these
proposals and as the result of that meeting,
chartered the MARID working group.
Microsoft's Caller-ID proposal was a late and highly controversial addition to this mix, with the following features:
Use of XML policies with DNS - this was reduced to what is now known as Sender ID
Mademoiselle remembers too well How once she was belle of the ball Now the past she sadly recalls. Mademoiselle lived in grand hotels Ordered clothes by Chanel and Dior Millionaires queued at her door. Oh, she pleased them and teased them She hooked them and squeezed them Until like their empires they'd fall She very soon learned That the more love she spurned The more power she yearned Until she was belle of the ball. Oh, Mademoiselle, such a soft machiavel Would play bagatelle with the hearts of young men as they fell Mademoiselle would hide in her shell Could then turn cast a spell on any girl That got in her way. She would crave all attention Men would flock to her side Woe betide any man who ignored For she'd feign such affection Then break down their pretension When she'd won she would turn away. Turn away, thoroughly bored. Mademoiselle, long ago said farewell To any love left to sell, for the sake of being belle of the ball Mademoiselle knows there's no way to quell Her own private hell, just a shell, With no heart left at all. Poor old Mademoiselle.
