Etymology
The etymology given here is consistent with the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, but the OED is much more tentative: 'Perhaps ultimately < the same base as mere v.1; perhaps showing the same extended form as Lithuanian merkti to blink, wink, or perhaps that shown by Lithuanian mirgėti to twinkle, margas parti-coloured'. Could we edit the etymology section to include a 'perhaps', and maybe add a reference to the OED? Alarichall (talk) 21:37, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
