      [Verb]  | "murmur" 


      1: to make a murmur

      2: complain, grumble

      3: to say in a murmur


      Origin: 14th century ;

       Middle English murmuren "to hum (of bees), growl, grumble, complain," borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French murmurer "to grumble, complain" (Old French also "to murmur" [of a brook]), borrowed from Latin murmurāre "to make a low, continuous sound, mutter, grumble, complain," of onomatopoeic origin;

        * Note : Alternatively the medieval French word could be descended from murmurāre if the onomatopoeic character of the word would override the regular vowel change of to ; this is the opinion of the Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch.;
