Sorry, you are wrong. “Maroon” is a variant on the word “moron” which dates back to the Three Stooges.

Before you call someone wrong, do your homework.

“The First Maroon War was a conflict between the Jamaican Maroons and the colonial British authorities that started around 1728 and continued until the peace treaties of 1739 and 1740. It was led by slaves (maroons) who escaped from their plantations to become mountain dwelling fugitives.
