different between murder vs bloodstained
murder
English
Alternative forms
- murther (obsolete)
Etymology
From Middle English murder, murdre, mourdre, alteration of earlier murthre (“murder”) (see murther), from Old English morþor (“secret slaying, unlawful killing”) and Old English myrþra (“murder, homicide”), both from Proto-Germanic *murþr? (“death, killing, murder”), from Proto-Indo-European *mr?tro- (“killing”), from Proto-Indo-European *mer-, *mor-, *mr?- (“to die”). Akin to Gothic ???????????????????????? (maurþr, “murder”), Old High German mord (“murder”), Old Norse morð (“murder”), Old English myrþrian (“to murder”) and morþ.
The -d- in the Middle English form may have been influenced in part by Anglo-Norman murdre, from Medieval Latin murdrum from Old French murdre, from Frankish *murþra (“murder”), from the same Germanic root, though this may also have been wholly the result of internal development (compare burden, from burthen).
