Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MOULD . (I) (0. Eng. molde, from a Teutonic root meaning to grind, reduce to powder, cf. "
meal
  "), loose fine earth,
rich
  in organic matter, on the surface of cultivated ground, especially the made
garden
  soil suitable for the growth of
plants
 . In the sense of a furry growth, consisting of minute fungi found on animal or vegetable substances exposed to
damp
 , the word may be either an extension of " mould," earth, or an adaptation of an early " moul," with an additional d due to " mould." g Moul " is a Scandinavian word, cf. Swed. mogla, to grow musty, and the Eng. colloquial " muggy." (2) A form or
pattern
 , particularly one by means of which plastic materials may be made into shapes, whence " moulding," the form which the material so shaped takes. The word comes through the O. Fr. modle, molle, from Lat. modulus, a measure, or standard. The
English
  " model " is another derivative of the same word.
