Origin

Inherited from Middle English molle, mulle (“dust, rubbish”), possibly from Old English my

Inherited from Middle English molle, mulle (“dust, rubbish”), possibly from Old English myl (“dust, mould”), from Proto-West Germanic *muli, a deverbal formation from *mulljan and thus cognate with Dutch mul (“dust, mould”), German Müll (“rubbish”), Swedish moln (“cloud”) and related to English mill (“to grind”). Alternatively, from Middle French mol or its etymon Latin mollis (“soft”).

Shortened from mulmul.

From Scottish Gaelic maol.

Borrowed from Danish muld, from Old Norse mold.
