From the pronoun mely (“which”), patterned after the pronouns ilyen (“this kind of”), olyan (“that kind of”). Its form may have been influenced also by the interrogative pronoun mi (“what”). Its original form was probably melyen, this is perhaps mely (interrogative pronoun) + -n (pronoun suffix). First attested in 1748.[1]
