Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *mélh₂-ti ~ *ml̥h₂-énti, athematic root present of *melh₂- (“to grind”). Cognate with Proto-Balto-Slavic *mélˀtei (“to grind”). The Latin participle form molitus might reflect *molato-, from *molh₂to-, itself an innovative participle form replacing a putative regular *ml̥h₂to-. However, the Umbrian participle forms must reflect earlier *malto-, which itself must also have been an innovative formation, probably created analogically on the present stem. The expected outcome of *ml̥h₂-tos might be continued by Proto-Celtic *mlātos.
