Proper name

Forms: Morphews [plural]
Etymology: Norman French name borrowed from Old French malfé, malfeü, which in turn is derived from Latin malefatus, malefatutus, the perfect active participle of malefor (“to speak ill”), from Proto-Italic *maledfatos, fromLatin male (“badly, wrong”) + Latin for (“speak, say”). The first part is from Proto-Italic *malos, from Proto-Indo-European *mel- (“to deceive”), cognate with Lithuanian melas (“lie”) and the first element of Ancient Greek βλάσφημος (blásphēmos, “jinx”). The second part is from Proto-Italic *fāōr, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰéh₂ti (“to speak”), cognate with the second element of Ancient Greek βλάσφημος (blásphēmos, “jinx”).
