            To be fair, it’s also “mierde” in French, because it’s “merda” in Latin and was “smerda” before that in Proto-Indo-European (meaning “stench”). 🤓

              I see. And that smerda word is saved in slavic languages, the earliest entry I remember is a class of citizens in Kiyvan Rus’: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smerd But other than that it’s used now to describe an ugly scent. Yet, I haven’t thought of that connection before you said it (:
