moll (plural molls)
(girlfriend of a surfie or bikie): Because Australian pronunciation merges the /ɒ/ and /əʊ/ phonemes before /l/ (both become ), this word is very commonly spelt mole in Australia, probably by contamination with mole (“sneaky person”). Indeed, the Australian Oxford dictionary does not list the Australian meaning of the term under the headword moll, but only under mole, although it does recognise that mole in this sense is “probably” a mere “variant of moll”.
German Moll, from Latin mollis (“soft, tender, elegiac”). Compare molle (“flat (in music)”).
Cognate with Norwegian Bokmål moll.
moll (not comparable)
Inherited from Old Catalan moyll, from Latin mollem, from earlier *molduis, from Proto-Indo-European *ml̥dus (“soft, weak”), from *(s)meld- (“soft, weak, tender”). Compare Occitan mòl, French mou, Spanish muelle.
moll (feminine molla, masculine plural molls, feminine plural molles)
Inherited from Old Catalan moyl, from Vulgar Latin *medullum, analogically derived from Latin medulla, and probably influenced by Etymology 1. Compare Occitan mesolh, Spanish meollo, Portuguese miolo. Doublet of molla and medul·la, which were, respectively, inherited and borrowed from Latin.
moll m (uncountable)
Inherited from Latin mullus (“red mullet”).
moll m (plural molls)
moll m (plural molls)
moll n (indeclinable)
Borrowed from German Moll, from Latin mollis (“soft”).
