Etymology

1. O.E. murnan "to mourn," also "be anxious, be careful" (class III strong verb; past tense mearn, pp. murnen), from P.Gmc. *murnanan (cf. O.H.G. mornen, Goth. maurnan "to mourn," O.N. morna "to pine away"), perhaps from PIE *smer- "to remember," or, if the O.N. sense is the base one, from *mer- "to die, wither."
2. From Middle English mornen, mournen, from Old English murnan, from Proto-Germanic *murnaną. Cognate with French morne (“gloomy”). See: Middle English 'mornen', Old English 'murnan', Proto-Germanic '*murnaną'.
