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
The common name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.
