    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_edible_dormouse

    Etymology

    The word dormouse comes from Middle English dormous, of uncertain origin, possibly from a dialectal *dor-, from Old Norse dár ‘benumbed’ and Middle English mous ‘mouse’.

    The word is sometimes conjectured to come from an Anglo-Norman derivative of dormir ‘to sleep’, with the second element mistaken for mouse, but no such Anglo-Norman term is known to have existed.[4]

    The Latin word glis, which is the origin of the scientific name, is from the Proto-Indo-European root *gl̥h₁éys ‘weasel, mouse’, related to Sanskrit गिरि girí ‘mouse’ and Ancient Greek γαλέη galéē ‘weasel’.

    The Wikipedia article slides over the word ‘edible’ like it’s a complete non-problem

    Sorry I can’t help with additional info, as you said there’s little to find. It’s referenced on DW at least, but not much more is given there

    A bloody discord FFS, I’m not going there.

    But then I guess it’s not open source, if we can’t find the source.

    I don’t see myself installing a distro for which you can’t even find the license? How do you even know you have the right to install or use it?
