Origin of the word mourning

The word "mourning" traces back to the Old French word "morner," meaning "to grieve" or "to lament." This word itself derived from the Latin "murnus," which meant "a gift to the dead," likely referring to the offerings given during funeral rites. The concept of mourning, therefore, has roots in the ancient practice of expressing grief and paying respects to the deceased through rituals and offerings. The word itself has evolved to encompass the emotional and social aspects of grieving, as well as the outward expressions of sorrow.
