"murcus" meaning in All languages combined

See murcus on Wiktionary

Noun [Latin]

IPA: /ˈmur.kus/ [Classical], [ˈmʊrkʊs̠] [Classical], /ˈmur.kus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈmurkus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Unknown. The Hesychius hapax Ancient Greek μύρκος (múrkos), μυρικᾶς (murikâs, “mute, dumb”), transmitted as being used in Syracuse, is deemed by Oikonomos, Ernout/Meillet and Beekes borrowed from Latin. Connection to murgisō (“shrewd shyster”), Old Armenian մրգուզ (mrguz, “vile, despicable”) seems promising, however the -cus part reoccurs in broccus (“having broken teeth”), mancus (“maimed, crippled”), caecus (“blind”).
