Etymology

The verb "a omorî" is generally traced to a Slavic source, close to Bulgarian and Serbian "umoriti", meaning to tire out or to kill. That Slavic verb is itself built on a root meaning "to die", the same root behind Latin "mori" and English "mortal". "Omorât" is simply the past participle of "a omorî", so it carries the base meaning "killed" or "done to death".
