"mola" meaning in Latin

See mola in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈmɔ.ɫa] [Classical-Latin], [ˈmɔː.la] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *melh₂- Proto-Indo-European *-h₂ Proto-Indo-European *-éh₂ Proto-Indo-European *molh₂éh₂ Proto-Italic *molā Latin mola Inherited from Proto-Italic *molā, from Proto-Indo-European *molh₂éh₂, from the root *melh₂- (“to grind, crush”). The lack of the development of *mo- > *ma- in open syllables is possibly due to the presence of the word-medial laryngeal. Doublet of mollis (“soft”) and cognate with Ancient Greek μῠ́λη (mŭ́lē, “mill”) and English meal. See also English maelstrom.
