"մրգուզ" meaning in Old Armenian

See մրգուզ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

Forms: mrguz [romanization]
Etymology: The origin has been considered unknown. NHB compares to Arabic مَرْكُوز (markūz, “fixed, fastened; hid, buried”), passive participle of رَكَزَ (rakaza, “to plant into the ground”). A better comparison is Arabic مَرْجُوس (marjūs, “filthy, abominable”), passive participle of رَجِسَ (rajisa, “to be filthy, to be abominable”) from the root ر ج س (r-j-s) which is well-used in various forms though this passive participle is hardly known because the active participle رَاجِس (rājis) or rather the – lexicalized – adjective form رَجِس (rajis) is expected, likely cognate to Ge'ez ረኵሰ (räkʷsä, “to be impure, to be contaminated”) also with many formations in its root, pars pro toto for all Ethiopian Semitic languages as this root is widely present in Ethiopian and Cushitic where the root has been borrowed from Ethiopian. For the sound correspondence note that the classical dictionaries also list رِجْز (rijz) and رِكْس (riks) as dialectal variants of رِجْس (rijs, “filth”). Note also Classical Syriac ܡܪܓܙܢܐܼ (mrgznˀ /⁠margəzānā⁠/, “quarrelsome; one who provokes to anger”), from the root of ܪܘܓܙܐ (rūḡzā, “anger”). Under both theories, Latin murcus (“a coward, who, to escape military service, cuts off his thumb”) and murgisō (“shrewd shyster”), likely foreign borrowings, might be related.
