The word "murmurers" is derived from the verb "murmur", which dates back to the late Middle English period. Its etymology can be traced back to the Latin word "murmurare", which means "to murmur" or "to mutter". In turn, "murmurare" is derived from the onomatopoeic Latin word "murmur", representing the sound produced when one murmurs or speaks in a low, indistinct voice. Over time, "murmur" evolved into "murmurers", which refers to people who murmur or express dissatisfaction or discontent in a low voice or inaudibly.
