Etymology

Came into English from Middle English morfounden, morefounden (“to take cold”), from Middle French morfondre (“to chill, to cool”), from Franco-Provençal mor, more (“snout”) combined with Middle French fondre (“to melt”); the first part traces to Vulgar Latin *murrum (“muzzle, snout”), and the second to Latin fundere. It is cognate with French morfondre. The noun form is inherited from Middle English mareffownd, mareffownde, likely from the same Middle English morfounden, morefounden (“to take cold”).
