Per Derksen, from *mьrzě̀ti (to freeze? to be repulsive? to irritate?) + *-nǫti. Cognate with Albanian mardhem (to tremble with cold), mardhë (frost), which Derksen tentatively reconstructs as coming from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ-. Chernykh adds Middle High German murc (rotten, flabby), Old Norse morkinn (rotten), Old Irish meirc (rusty).
