Translations: 
  • Dutch: Moor
    • French: (t, fr, Maure)
    Etymology: More, Maure; from the Latin Maurus, a Moor, meaning a Mauritanian, an inhabitant of Mauritania. Webster 1913 also says: ?; confer ? black, dark. Confer {Morris} a dance, {Morocco}. Morris dance is from the moreys daunce, "Moorish dance". The Moroccan connection is doubtful, as Morocco is from Marrakech, itself from the Berber murt 'n akush, "the country of God".
