The term marabout appears during the [[Muslim conquest of the Maghreb]]. It is derived from the Arabic ''murābiṭ'' "one who is garrisoned":<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9050725/marabout marabout -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia].</ref> religious students and military volunteers who manned [[ribat]]s at the time of the conquest.<ref>[http://www.nuitdorient.com/n23i21.htm "LE SOUFISME: Problèmes de terminologie : soufi, marabout, fakir et derviche" from www.nuitdorient.com], 3 April 2003.</ref> Today, marabout means "saint" in the [[Berber languages]] and in general refers to Sufi Muslim teachers who head a lodge or school called a [[zawiya (institution)|zāwiya]] associated with a specific school or tradition, called a {{transliteration|ar|ṭarīqah}} "way, path" ({{langx|ar|طريقه}}). However, [[Charles de Foucauld]] and [[Albert Peyriguère]], both living as Catholic [[Hermit|hermits]] among Berbers in the Maghreb, were called marabouts by the local population due to their saintly lives.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hemminger |first1=William J. |title=African Son |date=26 April 2012 |publisher=University Press of America |isbn=978-0-7618-5844-7 |page=12 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9BzDka1ak64C |access-date=10 September 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Boucrout|first1=Marc|editor1-last=Ennaji |editor1-first=Moha |title=Culture berbère (amazighe) et cultures méditerrannéeennes: Le vivre-ensemble |date=9 July 2020 |publisher=KARTHALA Editions |isbn=978-2-8111-2574-5 |page=198 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X7RZEAAAQBAJ |access-date=3 September 2024 |language=fr}}</ref>

The pronunciation of that word varies by language. For example, it is pronounced ''amrabadh'' in [[Tarifit]]. Marabouts are known as ''sidi'' ({{lang|ar|سيدي}}) in [[Maghrebi Arabic]]. Many cities in Morocco got their names from local marabouts, and the name of those cities usually begins with "Sidi" followed by the name of the local marabout. [[Modern Standard Arabic]] for "saint" is "[[wali|walī]]" ({{lang|ar|ولي}}).

A marabout may also refer to a [[tomb]] ({{langx|ar|قُبّة}} ''[[qubba]]'' "dome") of a venerated saint, and such places have become holy centers and places of pious reflection.

===Some Zāwiyas linked with specific marabouts===
Note zāwiyas are not places of formal pilgrimage, which are limited in Islam to the [[Hajj]] and to [[Jerusalem]], but are rather places of reflection and inspiration for the pious.
