Noun [Latin]

IPA: [ˈmiː.ɫɛs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈmiː.les] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Unknown; possibly of Etruscan origin. The suffix seems similar to that of comes, eques, pedes, and veles, but the origin of the mīl- is obscure. A connection to mīlia (“thousands”), perhaps as "person going by the thousand(s)", is difficult to confidently motivate semantically.
