Noun [Latin]

IPA: [ˈmɔr.bʊs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈmɔr.bus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain. Pokorny, writing in the mid 20th-century, connected the term with Ancient Greek μαραίνω (maraínō), Old Irish meirb, Latin mortārium, and Old Norse merja. In more recent writings, de Vaan suggests a possible connection with Proto-Indo-European *mer- (“to die”), whence also morior (“to die”). The root may have been extended with a morpheme *-bʰo-, which perhaps also appears in terms such as sorbum or albus, all of which are adjectives relating to appearance. However, de Vaan notes that Proto-Indo-European formation of the shape *mor-bʰo- is unusual. De Vaan suggests a possible relation to Welsh merwydden and Ancient Greek μόρον (móron), both of which derive from a non-Indo-European substrate.

  "etymology_text": "Uncertain. Pokorny, writing in the mid 20th-century, connected the term with Ancient Greek μαραίνω (maraínō), Old Irish meirb, Latin mortārium, and Old Norse merja. In more recent writings, de Vaan suggests a possible connection with Proto-Indo-European *mer- (“to die”), whence also morior (“to die”). The root may have been extended with a morpheme *-bʰo-, which perhaps also appears in terms such as sorbum or albus, all of which are adjectives relating to appearance. However, de Vaan notes that Proto-Indo-European formation of the shape *mor-bʰo- is unusual. De Vaan suggests a possible relation to Welsh merwydden and Ancient Greek μόρον (móron), both of which derive from a non-Indo-European substrate.",
