Etymology 1

[edit]

FromMiddle Englishmud,mudde,mode, probably a borrowing fromMiddle Dutchmod,modde orMiddle Low Germanmudde, ultimately fromProto-Germanic*mud-,*mudra-(“mud”), perhaps fromProto-Indo-European*mū-,*mew-(“moist”). Cognate withSaterland FrisianMudde(“mud”),Middle High Germanmot(“mud”),Swedishmodd(“slush”). Compare also suffixed variantsWest Frisianmodder(“mud”),Dutchmodder(“mud”),German Low GermanMudder(“mud”),GermanModer(“moldiness, mildew, decay”),Englishmother(“vinegar-forming sediment in alcohol”),Danishmudder(“mud”). Alternative etymology suggests the Proto-Germanic word is possibly borrowed from aUralic language (compare e.g.Finnishmuta(“mud”),Northern Samimođđi(“mud”),Erzyaмода(moda,“earth, ground”) fromProto-Uralic*muďa).[1]
