Etymology
1. Etymology tree
2. Proto-Indo-European *melh₂-
3. Proto-Indo-European *-h₂
4. Proto-Indo-European *-éh₂
5. Proto-Indo-European *molh₂éh₂
6. Proto-Italic *molā
7. Latin mola
8. Inherited from Proto-Italic *molā, from Proto-Indo-European *molh₂éh₂, from the root *melh₂- (“to grind, crush”). The lack of the development of *mo- > *ma- in open syllables is possibly due to the presence of the word-medial laryngeal.
9. Doublet of mollis (“soft”) and cognate with Ancient Greek μῠ́λη (mŭ́lē, “mill”) and English meal. See also English maelstrom. See: English Nouns '
meal'.
