Etymology

By liquid metathesis from Proto-Slavic *moldъ, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *maldas, from Proto-Indo-European *ml̥dus (“soft, weak”).

Cognates include Old Prussian maldai (“boys”), Latin mollis (“soft, weak”), Ancient Greek βλαδύς (bladús, “weak”), μέλδω (méldō) (transitive)/μέλδομαι (méldomai) (intransitive) and ἀμαλδύνω (amaldúnō, “to weaken, destroy”). Other Germanic Indo-European cognates evolved from the meaning of soften: English smelt (transitive)/melt (intransitive), German schmelzen, probably Swedish smultron, Frankish *smalt (whence French émail).
