Pronunciation: [mˈɔː mˈɜːməɹɪŋ] (IPA) 
The word "more murmuring" is spelled as /mɔː ˈmɜː.mə.rɪŋ/. The first syllable "mo" is pronounced with a long "o" sound ("moh") and the second syllable "re" is pronounced with a schwa sound ("ruh"). "Murmuring" is spelled with two r's indicating the prolonged "r" sound, and "ing" at the end is pronounced with a nasal "n" sound. Overall, this phrase means an increase in low-volume complaining or grumbling.
More murmuring refers to an increased or amplified level of soft, indistinct, continuous sounds or voices expressing discontent, dissatisfaction, or mild complaints. It is characterized by a low, continuous hum or murmur that arises from a group of people who are engaged in whispered or hushed conversations, often related to their dissatisfaction with a particular situation or circumstance. The term signifies a greater intensity or volume of murmurs in comparison to the baseline or previous state.
Murmuring, in general, typically involves an intimate, restrained mode of communication where voices are muffled or suppressed deliberately. More murmuring indicates a higher degree of this secretive, hushed conversation that might have an undercurrent of dissent or disgruntlement. This increased level of murmuring can suggest a growing sense of disapproval, unhappiness, or discontentment within a group of people. It often serves as a subtle manifestation of shared grievances or concerns within a community or organization.
More murmuring often occurs in settings such as meetings, gatherings, or public spaces where a collective response or reaction to specific issues is being observed. The escalating murmurs may indicate a growing level of frustration or dissatisfaction, and could potentially be precursors to more overt forms of protest or dissent. While more murmuring itself does not necessarily signify any explicit action or confrontation, it serves as a precursor or early indicator of potential unrest or discontent within a group.
"More murmuring" is a phrase formed by combining two words: "more" and "murmuring".
1. More: The word "more" dates back to the Old English period, where it was spelled "māra". It evolved from the Proto-Germanic word "*maizô" and is related to other Germanic languages such as Old Saxon "mār" and Old High German "mēr". It has remained relatively unchanged in meaning throughout its history, generally indicating a greater or additional amount or degree.
2. Murmuring: The word "murmuring" comes from the verb "murmur", which originated from the Latin word "murmurare". In Latin, it referred to the act of making a low, indistinct sound.
