"etymology_text": "Traditionally, from a form with earlier initial *m, such as Proto-Italic *mormīkā, considered to derive from Proto-Indo-European *morwi(s) (“ant”)—a term with many deviating forms, probably taboo distortions, in various Indo-European languages. The irregular sound change can be explained by dissimilation of m … m to f … m. Cognates would include Sanskrit वम्र (vamra), Ancient Greek μύρμηξ (múrmēx), Old Church Slavonic мравии (mravii), Polish mrówka, Old Irish moirb, Welsh myrion, Old Norse maurr, English mire, Albanian morr. Compare especially Sanskrit वल्मीक (valmī́ka, “anthill”) and Iron Ossetian мӕлдзыг (mælʒyg, “ant”), which could point to Proto-Indo-European *morm-iH-ko-.\nHowever, the details are uncertain. Alternatively, from a substrate term related to the Pre-Greek source of Ancient Greek ὅρμικας pl (hórmikas, “ants”).",

"etymology_text": "Traditionally, from a form with earlier initial *m, such as Proto-Italic *mormīkā, considered to derive from Proto-Indo-European *morwi(s) (“ant”)—a term with many deviating forms, probably taboo distortions, in various Indo-European languages. The irregular sound change can be explained by dissimilation of m … m to f … m. Cognates would include Sanskrit वम्र (vamra), Ancient Greek μύρμηξ (múrmēx), Old Church Slavonic мравии (mravii), Polish mrówka, Old Irish moirb, Welsh myrion, Old Norse maurr, English mire, Albanian morr. Compare especially Sanskrit वल्मीक (valmī́ka, “anthill”) and Iron Ossetian мӕлдзыг (mælʒyg, “ant”), which could point to Proto-Indo-European *morm-iH-ko-.\nHowever, the details are uncertain. Alternatively, from a substrate term related to the Pre-Greek source of Ancient Greek ὅρμικας pl (hórmikas, “ants”).",
