Etymology: See 'mater.

  1. Alternative form of 'mater (“tomato”).

    “"A mater sandwich would be better." Trixie said, "but I'll take it if that's all you got." As if we were woefully deprived of food. So Trixie had a tomato sandwich for lunch, carefully prepared by Lillian but for which she received no thanks.”
