Etymology: Unknown. Beekes thinks a Pre-Greek origin is likely. Maybe related to μόρμορος (mórmoros, “fear, panic”). Generally claimed to be connected with Latin formido, although the parallel is dubious. However, see Middle Armenian մորմ (morm, “tarantula”), which possibly comes from the same substrate source.
