Noun

IPA: /məˈɹɛl/ [UK, US] Forms: morels [plural]
Rhymes: -ɛl Etymology: Borrowed from French morille (compare Picard merouille, meroule (“morel, mushroom”)), from Frankish *morhila (“mushroom”), diminutive of *morha (“root”), from Proto-Germanic *murhǭ, *murhijǭ (“carrot”), from Proto-Indo-European *mork- (“tuber, edible herb”). Akin to Old High German morhilo, morhela (“mushroom”) (German Morchel (“morel”)), diminutive of Old High German morha, moraha (“tree-root, plant root”) (German Möhre (“carrot”)).
