Word Origin & History

mourn 
O.E. murnan "to mourn," also "be anxious, be careful" (class III strong verb; past tense mearn, pp. murnen), from P.Gmc. *murnanan (cf. O.H.G. mornen, Goth. maurnan "to mourn," O.N. morna "to pine away"), perhaps from PIE *smer- "to remember," or, if the O.N. sense is the base one, from *mer- "to die, wither."
