"Mura-gimo no kokoro" is a pillow word found in old waka poetry.
The word mura-gimo no is hardly ever used in modern times.
Archaic pillow word; the kanji 群肝 is the primary form, but the word is almost never encountered in modern writing.
Variant kanji form; equally archaic and rare.
Alternate reading; search-only kana form.
The derivation is uncertain. The kanji 群肝 (cluster liver) may be ateji; the word likely originated as a poetic epithet in ancient Japanese, with むら (cluster/group) and きも (liver, considered the seat of emotions) combining to suggest a gathering of feelings.
