mural 壁畫

縮寫自mural painting,壁畫，來自拉丁語murus,墻，墻壁，來自PIE*mei,修建，鞏固，防御工事，可能來自PIE*mo,辛勞，勞作，詞源同mole,防洪堤，城墻，大型工事。

mural: mural: [16] The Latin for ‘wall’ was mūrus, derivatives of which have given English immure [16] and mural. It came from an earlier form moerus, to which was related moenia ‘walls’, source of the verb mūnīre ‘fortify, defend’. This has given English muniment ‘documentary proof of ownership, which ‘defends’ one’s right to something’ [15] and munition [16] (whence ammunition).
=> ammunition, immure, muniment, munition
mural (n.): painting on a wall, 1921, short for mural painting (1850), from mural (adj.)
