释义	mummymum‧my /ˈmʌmi/ ●●● S1 noun (plural mummies) [countable] Word Origin WORD ORIGINmummy Origin: 1600-1700 Old French momie, from Medieval Latin mumia, from Arabic mumiyah, from Persian mum ‘wax’ Examples EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS Alan has little experience of family life and is inquisitive about what it means to have a mummy and daddy. Great bolts of cloth are tucked away on ledges behind him, where they look just as snug as mummies. It was only that she couldn't stay in the house while mummy was being so horrible. She wanted to scream until mummy heard her and went in to find out what was wrong. The room was full of mummies! This analysis is very important since the bodies of the incorruptibles have been erroneously classified by many as natural mummies. We will see how the mummies occupied the midpoint of the most important overland trade route in Eurasian history.
