== Etymology == The term '''murex''' originates from the Latin word ''mūrex,'' likely related to the Greek word '''μύαξ''' (''myax''), meaning [[Mussel|sea mussel]]. The connection between these terms suggests a shared linguistic root, possibly linked to the Greek word '''μῦς''' (''mys''), meaning "mouse," due to the perceived resemblance between the shape of certain mollusks and mice.<ref>{{Cite web |title=murex {{!}} Etymology of murex by etymonline |url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/murex |access-date=2024-11-28 |website=www.etymonline.com |language=en}}</ref>
