mural

mural: [16] The Latin for ‘wall’ was mūrus, derivatives of which have given English immure [16] and mural. It came from an earlier form moerus, to which was related moenia ‘walls’, source of the verb mūnīre ‘fortify, defend’. This has given English muniment ‘documentary proof of ownership, which ‘defends’ one’s right to something’ [15] and munition [16] (whence ammunition).
=> ammunition, immure, muniment, munition
