Etymology
Muri comes from Vulgar Latin morire, a reshaping of the classical Latin deponent verb mori, meaning to die. The shift from mori to morire added a regular infinitive ending, and Romanian inherited that form directly as a core, everyday verb. It has stayed remarkably stable across two thousand years of sound change.
