Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro Middle English molle, mulle (dust, rubbish), possibly from Old English myl (dust, mould), from *muli, a deverbal formation from *mulljan and thus cognate with mul, Müll, moln and related to mill (to grind). Alternatively, from Middle French mol or its etymon Latin mollis (soft).
