Etymology
From murder:, murdre:, mourdre: "murder", alteration of earlier murthre: (see ) from  morþor: and  myrþra:, both from  from  from. Akin to 𐌼𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌸𐍂:,  mord:,  morð:,  myrþrian:.

The -d- in the form may have been influenced in part by  murdre: from  murdrum: from 🇫🇴 murdre: from  *undefined: "murder", from the same  root, though this may also have wholly been the result of internal development (compare burden: from burthen:).
