Etymologie (Engels)

Of unknown origin; possibly from Arabic [script needed] (mora), [script needed] (muraḥ), or of Celtic origin, from Gaulish *meur (“finger”) (see mér). This game was inherited from the Romans, who called it micātiō, from the phrase micāre digitīs (“to flash one’s fingers”). Akin to Venetan mòra, Sicilian murra, etc.
