Etymology
Possibly from Late Dacian *mellája, from Dacian *melwá-ja, from Proto-Indo-European *melh₂-wo-yo- (“consisting of flour”), from *melh₂-wo- (“flour”), from *melh₂- (“to grind”), or some other Paleo-Balkanic substrate. Compare Albanian miell and Hungarian málé. Other theories include Latin amylum + the suffix -alium. More likely is some connection with mămăligă, perhaps through contraction of a variant *mămălaie. See: Hungarian Nouns '
málé', Latin Nouns '
amylum'.
