What is the original language of word mirror?

The word "mirror" comes from the Old French word "mirouer", which means "to look at oneself in a mirror".

This word itself is derived from the Latin word "mirari", which means "to wonder" or "to admire".

So, while the direct ancestor of the word "mirror" is Old French, its ultimate origin lies in the Latin language.
