morné

adjective

morned (bearing a morne, a ring over the point of a lance, sword, etc.); morné; blunted

From Middle French morné, from Old French morné, from Old French morner, possibly from morne (“ring placed around a lance, sword, etc.”), ultimately from Latin mora (“obstacle, impediment”). Alternatively derived from Old Dutch *mornon, from Frankish *murnōn, from Proto-Germanic *murnōną, *murnaną (“to mourn”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)mer- (“to ponder, remember”). Cognate with English mourn.
