Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *mirъ (peace; world), from Proto-Balto-Slavic *meiˀrás (peace), from Proto-Indo-European *mey(H)-ró-s. The dual meaning of "peace" and "world" is unique to Slavic. The pre-1918 orthography had an orthographical distinction of the two identically pronounced words to avoid confusion.
