Etymology 2
Short for de Maurerspeise mason’s food. Possibly conflated with de la speciēs sort, kind; compare nl specie mortar. It is not clear, however, which of the two words developed the sense first. nl spijs, dum spise are also attested in it. The shift to the masculine gender is found in the more southern dialects, perhaps after de Mörtel m. In the Rhineland it remains feminine; compare the lb - below.
