Nobody ever talks about the root meanings of the word:

“Mor”- Alone

“mon”- Man

Man Alone.

Or "more good."

Did Joseph Smith, Jr. write the article on the etymology of the word 'mormon' attributed to him in the May 15, 1843 issue of Times and Seasons? Is 'mon' Reformed Egyptian for 'good,' as the article says?

Did Joseph Smith, Jr.'s scribe, William Wines Phelps, write the article instead of Smith?

LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley said the 'more good' translation is incorrect, but you'll find it everywhere.
