'amort' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'amort,' where 'a-' meant 'without' and 'mort' meant 'death.'

'amort' changed from the Old French word 'amorti' and eventually became the modern English word 'amort'.

Initially, it meant 'without life or death,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'lifeless or spiritless.'
