Relating to or of the sea; marine-related, particularly in older or poetic usage.
From Latin 'a-' (to/toward) + 'marinus' (of the sea), from 'mare' (sea). An archaic or poetic variant or related formation to 'marine.'
This word is basically a forgotten cousin of 'marine'—amarine sounds like it should mean something special, but it's just an older or dialectal way of saying 'of the sea,' reminding us that languages always have redundant words that compete until one wins.
