See mump in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mʌmp/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-mump.wav [Southern-England] Forms: mumps [plural]
Etymology: Perhaps borrowed through obsolete Dutch mompen (“to cheat, swindle, deceive”), according to Kroonen, a derivative of Proto-Germanic *mump- (“to stain”), from Proto-Indo-European *mm̥bʰ-neh₂-, related to Ancient Greek μέμφομαι (mémphomai, “I blame, accuse”). Also akin to German mimpfeln (“to mumble”), Icelandic mumpa (“to take into the mouth”). See also English mum.
