Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/morǫgъ
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *mor- (“depleted, dark”) + *-ǫgъ. Cognate with Ancient Greek μόρυχος (mórukhos, “dark”).
The East Slavic forms were likely influenced by unrelated Proto-Slavic *murъ (“dirt”) (cf. Bulgarian му́ргав (múrgav, “dark, tanned”), Serbo-Croatian му̏ргаст (“olive”)).
Adjective
*morǫgъ
- dark, dim, swarthy (of animals, plants, people, places)
- (by extension) motley, sundry, spotted
- Synonyms: *pьstrъ, *pěgavъ
