moro

/ˈmoɾo/ · B2 · adj

Moroccan

🕌 moro = Moor; sounds like MORE-oh, as in more of Morocco (Moroccan)

Moro comes from Latin Maurus, meaning from Mauretania, an ancient North African region. Link the first letters: MOro and MOrocco both start with MO, and both point to North Africa, home of the Moors who ruled Iberia for centuries.
