Pronunciation

Etymology 1

Shortening of moffel, from Middle French moufle, from Medieval Latin muffula.

Noun

mof f (plural moffen, diminutive mofje n)

  1. muff (clothing)
  2. (plumbing) piece to protect pipes where they are poorly connected

Etymology 2

From a word for “sullen face, mean-spirited person”, which still survives in Flemish moef. This is usually considered a borrowing from German Muff (now dialectal in this sense), though it could also be a native formation; compare Middle Dutch moffelen (to grumble). Ultimately onomatopoeic. The ethnic sense first occurred in the form Hans Mof (16th century).

mof m (plural moffen, diminutive mofje n, feminine moffin)

  1. (derogatory) German, Kraut
