Where did merk come from?
Merk comes from "merc," an abbreviation for "mercenary," which is a person who performs acts (usually violent) for money. People began widely using it in online gaming circles in the early-2000s, and it transitioned over to real life, like, "Trevor got detention for merking Mr. Johnson with a sick burn."
There are various spellings of merk, including "merck," "murck," and "murc." However, the most prominent ones you will see are merk and murk.
