Forms: late Middle English morefound, late Middle English–1700s morfound, 1500s morfonde.

Compare morfounder v.For the development of the vowel in the second syllable in English see note s.v. confound v. Compare Scots mortfundit (also in variants mortfundeit , mortfundyit ) ‘deadly cold’, which probably shows an unrelated formation < mort utterly (compare mort adj.) + fundyit chilled (see fundied adj.) (compare Dict. Older Sc. Tongue s.v. mortfundyit):a1522 G. Douglas in tr. Virgil Æneid (1959) vii. Prol. 136 The dew droppis congelyt on stibyll and rynd, And scharp hailstanis, mortfundit of kynd, Hoppand on the thak.
