Unknown, possibly from a Middle Iranian cognate of Persian مورد (murd, myrtle). The “rebellion” senses of the root م ر د (m-r-d) may then be figurative after the tonic properties of the myrtle or the thermogenic, aphrodisiac and purgative effects of the toothbrush tree fruits.

مَرْد (mardm

  1. fruit of the toothbrush tree
