Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *mer- (โto disappearโ). Kloekhorst considers the Proto-Indo-European term to have had the original meaning "to disappear" as attested in Anatolian languages, whereas the meaning "to die" as reflected in cognates such as Ancient Greek แผฮผฮฟฯฯฮตฮฝ (รฉmorten), Latin morior, Old Armenian ีดีฅีผีกีต (meแนay), Old Church Slavonic ะผััฃัะธ (mrฤti), Persian ู
ุฑุฏู (mordan) came from a later innovation (euphemistic use of the term, cf. Modern English pass away with the archaic meaning "to disappear") which occured after the split of Proto-Anatolian from Proto-Indo-European.
