Etymology
1. Primary sense “to wave, to beckon” is from Proto-Balto-Slavic *mā́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)meh₂-.
2. There is no agreement whether secondary sense “to detain, to tire” is simply secondary or reflects a different root Proto-Indo-European *meh₃-, whence Old High German muoan (“to alarm, to worry”), muodi (“tired”) (modern German müde), Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐌼𐌰𐌿𐌹𐌸𐍃 (afmauiþs, “tired”), Ancient Greek μῶλος (môlos, “burden, labor”), μώλυς (mṓlus, “weakened, exhausted, stupid”), Latin mōlēs (“heaviness, weight”).
3. Berneker, Pokorny, and Vasmer distinguish the two meanings; while Derksen considers them as akin.
4. See also *māxàti, *mamiti for further discussion. See: Old High German 'muoan'.
