Pronounced as (IPA)

/moˈɾɐ̃.ɡu/

Etymology

Inherited from Latin: morum

Cognate with Galician: amorodo

In summary

Uncertain. Either from Vulgar Latin *moranicum, from Latin morum (“mulberry”) or from amora (“bramble; blackberry”) + -ango. Compare Galician amorodo, amorogo (“strawberry”). Displaced Latin fragum, which, if it followed the same development in other romance language, probably would have yielded either *fraga or *freisa.
