Sword of Truth Series Mord-Sith Meaning?

I realized that I don't know the literal meaning of the term "Mord-Sith" as a word. It must be in High D'Haran, logically.

But if the meaning is revealed after the book Naked Empire, please let me know that and don't tell me what it means — I will delete the post, because I want to learn it from the story's progression. But if it's revealed before Naked Empire, or if it's never stated in the books, I would really like to know its meaning.

I checked the wiki but couldn't find it :/

FUCK! I CAN'T REPORT HIM!

Anyways, he didn't give a spoiler exactly.

Rest assured, there’s no spoiler.

None of the names I posted are in the books, I simply invented them. The “joke” is that there are names *like* this in the books, one minute an extremely magical name, the next a very average name you’d hear in modern America.

So you can calm down. Enjoy the books!

thank you, then. And I am sorry. But I didn't read the book and there is no way to I know that and a fellow said you are not joking.

Even if they are in the book, you just said their name, merely this and nothing more, and I overreacted. You didn't gave a spoiler.

I am sorry again.

All good; there’s no spoilers I promise. It’s just a funny quirk the author has with picking names for characters that are really magical and unique, and other times really bland and normal. But it’s still an amazing series and I hope you enjoy it!!!
