- The word মূৰ্খ is derived from the Sanskrit word 'murkha', which historically referred to someone who is 'silent' or 'dull' in a way that prevents learning.
- In Assamese, the term বুৰ্বক is sometimes used playfully between very close friends to tease one another, though it remains a harsh insult when used with strangers.
- To call someone's actions মূৰ্খামি ('stupidity') is often considered less offensive than calling the person a মূৰ্খ ('stupid'), as it criticizes the act rather than the individual.
