MURDRUM
PRONUNCIATION: (MUR-drum)
MEANING: noun: 1. A murder, especially in secret. 2. A fine paid for a murder.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin murdrum (murder), from Old French murdre (murder). Earliest documented use: 1290.
NOTES: Before England went around colonizing the world, they were colonized/conquered by Romans, Angles/Saxons/Jutes, Vikings, and Normans. The locals vented by killing their new lords. So the law came down that any murder of a Norman was to result in a heavy fine for the whole village. On the other hand, if the person killed was an Englishman or an Englishwoman: pas de problème. This fine was known as murdrum. ____________________________
CURD-RUM - a beverage made from fermented milk
