Etymology
A parallel form (with an infix n, maybe originally from Curonian dialects, perhaps under the influence of *mandrs, an older form of modrs, q.v.) of an earlier (and still attested) form mudrs, from Proto-Baltic *mud- with an extra r, from Proto-Indo-European *mewd-, *mūd-, *mud- (“lively, cheerful”), from a stem *mew- (“humid, wet; to wash, to bathe”). German munter (“lively, cheerful, awake”) may have influenced the meaning and the form of this word. Cognates include Lithuanian muñdras, mundrùs, Latin mundus (“clean, shiny”) (< *mundos).[1]
