μόρον

See also: Appendix:Variations of "moron"

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *mórom (“mulberry, blackberry”), and cognate with Old Armenian մոր (mor, “blackberry”),^[1] as well as likely Middle Irish merenn (“mulberry”), Welsh merwydden. However, Beekes suspects the Armenian to be a loan from Greek (and does not mention the Celtic forms), and leaves the origin open.^[1]
