There is also an interesting commentary to be had in looking up the word definitions before and after the insertion point of the word "Mormon" in the English Dictionary.  These definitions come from a Dictionary (Webster '71) that my parents had when I was a child.

moral Relating to right and wrong as determined by duty.

A primary responsibility of those who are called into the gospel is to show forth an example of the highest ethics, not just in well-established mores, but in venturing forward with elevated standards in advancing the work of God, which is their duty and their quest to fulfill.

morass A tract of low, soft, wet ground; a marsh.

Perhaps a high point of Mormon history is when they created the splendid city of Nauvoo, Illinois out of what had been a marsh. Likewise, are those who are called into the gospel to do spiritually. Morals in the midst of a morbid morass.

morbid Gloomy; gruesome; not sound and healthful; relating to disease.

The Word of Wisdom is another factor in which the Mormons have been set as a light to the world as pertaining to health.  Those who seek to live the spirit of this law, including eating meat very sparingly, and looking to understand the proper usage of herbs, indeed benefit greatly from the promises of this famous health code. 

mordacious Biting; sarcastic.

Sometimes it's not evil that one does amidst a host of good deeds for which he stands to blame, but the good he ought to have done given what he had to offer that marks his folly.

more Greater in amount.

The Mormons as a people generally have been blessed with an abundance of light and knowledge available to them beyond any other people on earth. With that endowment comes the inseparable accountability, not only to do good, but to oppose evil. Instead, they have too often embraced evil (e.g. socialist programs and the New World Order psyche) and opposed the greater light and knowledge they were to have embraced and heralded, especially as it pertains to the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth, which is not just a church but a governed civilization founded in the mores of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Also as pertaining to spiritual understanding, they have been promised additional scripture, "greater things" if they but receive that which they have been given and live faithfully to it.  The fact that they have not received such bespeaks the continued condemnation under which they rest as a people. (D&C 84:55.)

mores Customs and conventions or folk ways containing the moral views of a people and having the force of law through long use. [see note accompanying "moral" above]

morgue

moribund In a dying state. *<In the moribund patient deepening stupor and coma are the usual preludes to death B Norman Cameron>

e.g. salt that has lost its savor is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under feet of men.

*morigerous; morigeration Submissive; servile obedience.

Mormons are famous for their culture of submissiveness. "Follow your leader, especially the prophet. Even if he tells you to do something that is wrong, you will be blessed for doing it anyway," equating obedience to man as being one and the same with obedience to God, even though God calls for obedience to conscience and the Holy Spirit to be supreme.

>> Mormon A term generally applied to a member of that religious body properly known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

morn; morning The first part of the day, beginning at twelve o'clock at night and extending to twelve at noon.

(1) A favorite hymn of the LDS is "The morning breaks, the shadows flee; lo, Zion's standard is unfurled." (Hymn #1.) (2) An unanticipated paradox may be that the millennial morn is preceded by the twilight of the Mormon reign, culminating with the midnight call of the bridegroom to his purified remnant bride. The dawning of Christianity was preceded in a defining hour by the twilight of Judaism. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. The time of the Gentiles is about to be fulfilled, as the hymn continues, "The Gentile fulness now comes in, and Israel's blessings are at hand."

moron A person having the mental age of 8 to 12 years *who is capable of doing routine work under supervision. [e.g. Foolish]

Metaphorically, might this correlate to a sort of low-level spirituality plateau that is perpetuated? Certainly the intellectual development in doctrine among mainstream Mormons is squelched. Persistently zealous inquirers are often ousted. There is no place for them. Ironically, a motto of the Church is, "The Glory of God is intelligence," but that is only to the extent that it conforms with the "brethren," who are so busy administering the Church that they have no time to study. Novel repetition is a refined art among these people.

morose, Of a sour temper, sever, sullen and austere.

Though the gospel is designed to bring joy, too often those who claim to live it are more stressful than peaceful.

morpheme, A word such as wait, or a part of a word, as ed in waited, not further divisible into a meaningful part.

"The people of the Lord are those who wait for him, for they still wait for the coming of the Messiah" (2 Ne. 6:13) -- spoken of the Gentiles.  Perhaps symbolically, this idea of getting to the least common denominator is applicable to the study of the word of God, wherein if humble we come to recognize the God of the word.

The next two words have the same etymological root:

Morpheus, (Gr. from morphe, form, from the forms he causes to appear to people in their dreams.) Greek myth. the god of sleep and dreams.

morphia, morphine, (Gr. Morpheus, the god of sleep) The narcotic principle of the opium.

Isaiah too refers to the slumber principle, speaking of the "drunkards of Ephraim, in the head of the fat valleys overcome with wine" (Isa. 28).  Hence his admonition to the people of God to "awake, put on strength" (Isa. 52).
