Etymology
The origin is uncertain.[1] Perhaps of Proto-Indo-European origin and cognate with Sanskrit मर्चयति (marcáyati, “to injure, hurt”) and Hittite [script needed] (mārk-, “to cut up, butcher”).[2] J̌ahukyan derives from Proto-Indo-European *mōr-g-yo-, from *mer- (“to rub”), and connects with մորճ (morč).[3]
