Etymology
1. From Proto-Italic *moljes, of uncertain origin; it has been proposed that it might be akin to mulgere and therefore mean “the milk-giver”. Others propose it might derive from mollior, comparative of mollis (“soft, tender”). Contamination within either of these two terms can be possible.
2. The former is from Isidore's Etymologies: "Mulier vero a mollitie, tanquam mollier, detracta littera vel mutata, appellata est mulier".
