Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /mor.pʰɛ̌ː/, /morˈɸi/, /morˈfi/, /mor.pʰɛ̌ː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /morˈpʰe̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /morˈɸi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /morˈfi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /morˈfi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Of unclear origin: * Many attempts have been made to connect it with Latin fōrma (“form”) (see there for theory of its origin), but the proposed relationship is problematic. Beekes suggests that the Latin was either loaned from Greek via an intermediary like Etruscan, or that the Latin and Greek were both inherited from a Proto-Indo-European *mergʷʰ-, with the Latin undergoing metathesis > *gʷʰerm- > *gʷʰorm- > *form-. * An alternative relationship has been proposed with Baltic terms like Latgalian mārga (“daughter, lass”) and Lithuanian mergà (“girl”), with a semantic shift "shape" > "lovely shape" > "girl". If so, then the Greek and Baltic terms are from, per Beekes, a Proto-Indo-European *mergʷʰ-h₂-, with the Greek deriving from an o-grade. However, the Baltic terms are more commonly derived from a root *mer- (“young boy, girl”) (whence Latin marītus (“husband”)), making this theory doubtful.

Beekes suggests that the Latin was either loaned from Greek via an intermediary like Etruscan, or that the Latin and Greek were both inherited from a Proto-Indo-European *mergʷʰ-, with the Latin undergoing metathesis > *gʷʰerm- > *gʷʰorm- > *form-.\n* An alternative relationship has been proposed with Baltic terms like Latgalian mārga (“daughter, lass”) and Lithuanian mergà (“girl”), with a semantic shift \"shape\" > \"lovely shape\" > \"girl\". If so, then the Greek and Baltic terms are from, per Beekes, a Proto-Indo-European *mergʷʰ-h₂-, with the Greek deriving from an o-grade. However, the Baltic terms are more commonly derived from a root *mer- (“young boy, girl”) (whence Latin marītus (“husband”)), making this theory doubtful.",
