Borrowed from Aramaic מוֹתָנָא (mōṯānā), ܡܰܘܬܴܢܳܐ (mawṯānā, “plague, pestilence”), from Akkadian 𒉆𒁁𒈨𒌍 (/mūtānu/), possibly a loan from Amorite or a Hittite intermediary as the Akkadian 𒉡 (/nu, -annu/) is found frequently in loanwords or re-borrowings that have passed through Anatolia. Ultimate origin from Proto-Semitic *mawt- (“death, ceasing, non-existence”) found as the Arabic root م و ت (m-w-t).
