Middle English morffue, Middle English morfiw, Middle English morfiwe, Middle English morfu, Middle English morfw, Middle English morfwe, Middle English morfyw, Middle English morfywe, Middle English morphu, Middle English morsowe (transmission error), Middle English mvrfue, Middle English–1500s morfew, Middle English–1500s morfewe, Middle English–1500s morfue, Middle English–1500s morpheu, Middle English–1600s morphewe, Middle English–1600s morphue, Middle English– morphew, 1500s morpheu.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French morphé; Italian morfea; Latin morphea.

Etymology: Partly < Anglo-Norman and Middle French morphé (c1240 in Anglo-Norman; also in Old French as morfoies, plural (1256), morphee (c1300), morfea (c1314); French morphée ), partly < their probable immediate etymon Italian morfea (although this is apparently only recorded from the first half of the 14th cent.), and partly < their ultimate etymon post-classical Latin morphea (from c1170 in British sources; more recently written morphoea : compare morphoea n.), of uncertain origin; perhaps shortened < ancient Greek ἀμορϕία unsightliness, ugliness < ἀ- a- prefix⁶ + μορϕή (see -morph comb. form) + -ία -y suffix³. Compare slightly earlier morphoea n.With black , white morphew compare post-classical Latin morphea alba , nigra (late 13th cent.). The phonetic development underlying the β. forms is unclear.

Any of various skin diseases characterized by localized or generalized discoloration of the skin; (also) a discoloured lesion of the skin. Also figurative. Cf. morphoea n. black morphew n. morphew characterized by hyperpigmented lesions (attributed to the humour black bile). white morphew n. morphew characterized by hypopigmented lesions (attributed to the humour phlegm).The lesions referred to in quots. 1796 and 1810 appear to be solar lentigines.
