Etymology
De Vaan explains the term as a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *ml̥dus. This same Proto-Italic term was remade into the i-stem form mollis. According to De Vaan, molluscus probably derives from *moldusko-, from *mldu-sko-, itself from *ml̥dus before the term was transformed into an i-stem form.
