mylla
Icelandic
editEtymology
editAlteration of earlier mylna, likely influenced by the Danish cognate mølle. The earlier form mylna is likely borrowed from Old English mylen, or from Old Saxon mulin, in either case from Proto-West Germanic *mulīnu (“mill”), from Late Latin molīna, from Latin molō (“grind, mill”, verb). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *melh₂- (“grind, crush”) and related to several inherited words such as mala, mylja and mold.
