Etymology

Inherited from Old Church Slavonic мънихъ (mŭnixŭ), from Old High German munih (“monk”), ultimately of Byzantine Greek origin. Doublet of мона́х (monáh), directly borrowed from Greek. By folk etymology, interpreted as an agent noun of мня (mnja, “to ponder, to contemplate”) + -их (-ih), i.e. “one who is immersed in thought”.
