Etymology

De Vaan derives the verb from Proto-Indo-European *mr̥k-eh₁-, from a root *merk- (“to be soaked; to be weak”), and compares Hittite (markii̯e/a-, “to disapprove of, refuse”), Sanskrit मृच् (mṛc, “to injure”), Lithuanian mer̃kti (“to soak”), Middle High German meren (“to dip bread into water or wine”).[1]

The proposed connections with murcus, ἀμόργη (amórgē), Proto-Celtic *mrakis (“malt”) and Lithuanian markýti (“to macerate, to ret”) are problematic for various reasons.
