Etymology
1. "to fasten (a vessel) by a cable," 1495 (implied in
mooring), probably related to O.E.
mærels "mooring rope," via unrecorded
*mærian "to moor," or possibly borrowed from M.L.G.
moren, from W.Gmc.
*mairojan (cf. M.Du.
maren, said to be originally Frisian, Du.
meren "to moor a ship"). Hence
mooring (n.), 1758, "place where a vessel can be moored."
2. From Middle English moren, from unattested Old English *mārian, from Proto-West Germanic *mairōn (“to moor, fasten to”), related to *maida- (“post”), from Proto-Indo-European *mēyt-, *meyt-, from *mēy-, *mey- (“stake, pole”). Cognate with Dutch meren (“to moor”), marren (“to bind”). See: Dutch '
meren'.
