Etymology of MURMUR
The word "murmur" originated from the Middle English term "murmure", which was derived from the Old French word "murmure" meaning "sound of a murmur" or "a murmur". This Old French term was in turn derived from the Latin word "murmurare", which meant "to mutter" or "to murmur". The Latin word was a combination of "murmur" (noun), representing the sound of murmuring, and "-are", a verb suffix denoting action. The word ultimately finds its roots in the Proto-Indo-European root word "mormor", imitating the sound of a murmur.
