Etimologie (Engels)

Ultimately from Latin myrobalanum, from Ancient Greek μυροβάλανος (murobálanos). First attested in 1838. Likely originates as Mirobolan, the name of a medicine in Crispin medecin, a 1680 comedy by Hauteroche, a humorous reinterpretation/respelling of myrobolan (“myrobalan, a medicinal plant”) as present participle of the (then) non-existent verb miroboler, as if from mirer (“to stare intensely”), from Latin mīrārī (“to wonder, marvel at”).
