HelpRe: Mordecai
in reply to a message by Clippy
It's not really my style.
I think the morbid feel comes from Mord-, which sounds like Mort-, meaning death. (mortal, immortal, mortality, mortician, mortuary)

Interestingly enough...
I was just thinking about a Mordecai the Mortician, because it seems so fitting of a profession.
Yet it still didn't click that mort=death. 'Cause, yeah, that would explain it! Thanks for reminding me. :P

it makes me think of mordere=to bite in Italian, or the adjective "mordant", so it's harsh sounding for me, I'd never though of mort as in death. Now I'm thinking of "Mordant Mordecai".
