What is the origin of the word 'matzah'?

Matzah is the official food of the Passover, steming from the creation of an unleavened bread that the Jewish people had to make in haste. As they were gathering up to leave Egypt, and slavery, they only had time to make an unleavened bread. To sit and wait for yeast to rise would have taken too long, and they were instructed to hurry. There are many thoughts as to what the word really stands for but many believe that it stems from the word, mahar. Others indicate that it may come from the word for to squeeze, to suck, or dry out, due to it's dry nature. That word is - mazeh. The word Matza also has the same root as Mitzui, to realize potential and Chametz(leaven) has the same root as Hachmatza, to miss an opportunity. Matzah may be an illusion to the religious implications of both of those roots.
