FromMiddle Dutchmude, fromOld Frisian and westernOld Dutch*mūtha, anIngvaeonic variant (with loss of the nasal before a dental consonant, plus concomitant compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel) of Old Dutchmunt, whence modern Dutchmond and-monde in place names likeIJsselmonde). Both derive fromProto-Germanic*munþaz(“mouth”). Often encountered in the dative plural formmuiden in toponyms, functioning as a dative of location.
