Immure and mural...

For starters take a look at to our two good old barons words “immure” and “mural” they seem to be slightly related. Actually both the words come from the same root “murus” meaning wall.

Immure (v): imprison, shut in confinement.Actually this word comes from the idea of surrounding something with walls.

Mural (n): Wall painting.Comes from idea of a painting directly drawn on the wall.Hope this helps thou!!

Regards,
V
