Etymology 2[edit]

The origin is uncertain. Compare Georgian მორიელი (morieli, “scorpion”).

According to Martirosyan, reflects a Mediterranean substrate insect / bogey-name, found also in Ancient Greek Μορμώ (Mormṓ), Μορμών (Mormṓn, “she-monster, bogey”) and Latin formido.[1]

Alternatively, perhaps literally meaning "the hairy one" and borrowed from a Middle Iranian reflex of Proto-Iranian *mauda- (“hair”), whence Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (mwd), Persian مو (mu, “hair”), Baluchi میذ (mīδ, “goat's hair; hair”) and possibly Yazghulami mů (“spider”). On these see ESIJa, without the Armenian.[2] For the sound changes compare սափոր (sapʿor). Note that tarantulas are hairy and Amirdovlatʿ describes մոր (mor) as "woolly". In this scenario, the -մ (-m) in the form մորմ (morm) would need an explanation.
