Greek

Etymology

From Byzantine Greek μοῦχλα (moûkhla, “mould”), borrowed from (Western?) Aramaic מוּגְלָא / ܡܘܓܠܐ (muḡlā) (“pus, water under a blister”; in the usually attested Eastern language forms instead not actually recorded as “mould”, apparently then transferred from an idea of “damaging liquid”),[1][2][3][4] when also around the same time Middle Armenian forms the compound մգլահոտ (mglahot, “smelling like mould; smell of mould”),[5][6] as otherwise the present term would have to be from Ancient Greek ὀμίχλη (omíkhlē, “mist, fog; vapour; obscurity”) and the Armenian term մգլել (mglel, “to mould”) parallelly from մէգ (mēg, “mist”); prompt to conjecture native etymologies, Indo-Europeanists sport the leading opinion even that the Bulgarian and Macedonian terms in the descendants section below would rather hail from Proto-Slavic *mъxъ (“moss”) +‎ *-ъlъ.[7][8][9][10][11]
