Etymology 2
Derived or cognate to Aramaic מִלָּה (mellā, “word, speech, statement; matter or case, logic, reason, rationale; exposition; consensus”); compare Classical Syriac ܡܠܬܐ (mellṯā). Connected natively to the root م ل ء (m-l-ʔ) meaning “an adult who is regarded for his opinion”, “the affluent, nobles, or decision-makers in a tribe”, “to speak about or discuss”, “an assembly where consultation and opinions are given”, “expressing disdain or scorn”, “to give a critique”, “to converse or to give a review”, “to give your take on a situation”, “to give one's judgment or input”. See also the potentially derived root م ي ل (m-y-l) meaning “leaning, one's leaning” and the Millat Ibrahim, the critique, philosophy, or ideology of the prophet Ibrahim, namely Monotheism.
