moonern.

Brit.

/ˈmuːnə/, U.S.

/ˈmunər/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: moon n.¹, moon v., -er suffix¹,

Etymology: In sense 1 < moon n.¹ + -er suffix¹, after post-classical Latin lunarius (1570 in the passage translated in quot. 1576 at sense 1), itself probably arising from a misreading of limarius (see lyam-hound n.). In sense 2 < moon v. + -er suffix¹. In sense 3 < moon v. or moon n.¹ + -er suffix¹.

†1. A kind of mastiff said to bark incessantly at the moon. Obsolete.
