Etymology
F. More, Maure; from the Latin Maurus, a Moor, meaning a Mauritanian, an inhabitant of Mauritania. Webster 1913 also says: Gr. ?; confer ? black, dark. Confer {Morris} a dance, {Morocco}. Morris dance is from the ME. moreys daunce, �Moorish dance�. The Moroccan connection is doubtful, as Morocco is from Marrakech, itself from the Berber murt 'n akush, �the country of God�.
