From a- + mutter.
Meanings
-
(not-comparable) muttering
The schemes, the threats, the feuds. The hot nastiness that prevails over everything and everyone. In this idiot and stillborn-stricken village the bereaved sneer at the barren and the barren laugh at the burdened, and the nights are amutter with the rehearsal of nested blames and intractable vendettas.
