Etymology

According to Martirosyan, from Proto-Indo-European *munyo-, a thematization of *muni-; compare Sanskrit मुनि (muni, ecstatic person, ascetic, hermit (especially one who has taken the vow of silence)), Czech muňa (speechless, fool).

According to Ačaṙyan, from Proto-Indo-European *mundyo- and cognate with Ancient Greek μυνδός (mundós), μύδος (múdos), μυκός (mukós), μυττός (muttós, dumb), Latin mutus, Sanskrit मूक (mūka, dumb).

In any case probably ultimately going back to sound-symbolic *mū-. See also մրմունջ (mrmunǰ), մուռ (muṙ), մունչ (munčʻ).
