Etymology of MORE UMTEEN

The word "more umteen" does not have a straightforward etymology because it is not a standard English word. Instead, "more umteen" appears to be a combination of two separate words: "more" and "umteen".

1. "More": This word comes from the Middle English term "moore", which can be traced back to the Old English word "māra", meaning "greater in amount, extent, or degree". The Old English word itself has Germanic roots, deriving from the Proto-Germanic word "*maizō". "More" is commonly used as a comparative adjective or adverb indicating an additional quantity, greater extent, or increased degree.

2. "Umteen": This is a colloquial or informal word that means "a large, indefinite number". It is an alteration of the word "umpteen", which was formed by combining "umpty" and "-teen".
