köken: From گورکان (gūrkān /gurkân) [from Middle Mongol ᠬᠦᠷᠭᠡᠨ (kürgen, “son-in-law”)] + ـی (-ī /-i, suffix forming adjectives). Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty, was a descendant of Timur, who had married into the Genghisid Chagatai line and had therefore been known as a ‘son-in-law’.
köken: Borrowed from Classical Persian مُغُل (muġul), ultimately from Middle Mongol ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠤᠯ (mongɣul). Noun sense 2 is a semantic loan from English mogul. Cognate with Bengali মুঘল (mughol), Gujarati મુઘલ (mughal).
