Derived from the Latin 'murex', referring to a genus of predatory sea snails, combined with 'purple', from Old English 'purpul' and Latin 'purpura'. Historically known as Tyrian purple, this pigment was extracted laboriously from thousands of sea snails in antiquity, making the dye exceptionally rare and associated with royalty.
