Etymology

Origin unknown. Possibly from dialectal măgulă (compare Aromanian mãgulã), from Albanian magulë (“heap”), metathetic form of gamulë, or an expressive creation based on *măc- or *moc-. Other less likely theories included Latin macula or *maculum, or a Proto-Slavic *mogyla. Compare also Greek μαγούλα (magoúla, “hill”) and Latin magulum (“cheek”).

This word has also been associated with the pan-Mediterranean substrate which is allegedly reflected in Basque mokor (“lump of earth”) and Sardinian mogoro (“hill”).
