The etymology of the word "more emerita" is a combination of two different words, "more" and "emerita".
1. "More": This word comes from the Latin word "mōrēs", which means "behavior" or "customs". In English, "more" refers to the accepted customs, norms, or traditions of a particular society or group. Over time, it has come to be used in phrases like "in a manner consistent with customs" or "according to accepted practice". In Latin, "mōrēs" is in the plural form, while in English, it is typically used in the singular.
2. "Emerita": This word is the feminine form of the Latin adjective "emeritus", which means "retired" or "honorable discharged".
