Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Old Norse munkr (“monk”) (cf. also Swedish, Danish munk), from Old English munuc. This word must have been borrowed during the time of the un > ū change (9th-12th century); its first mention (already in its modern form), however, is found in 17th-century dictionaries.[1]
