"mulier" meaning in Latin

See mulier in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈmu.li.er/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈmʊlʲiɛr] [Classical-Latin], /ˈmu.li.er/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈmuːlier] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *moljes, of uncertain origin; it has been proposed that it might derive from mollior, comparative of mollis (“soft, tender”). Others propose it might be akin to mulgere and therefore mean “the milk-giver”. Contamination within either of these two terms can be possible. The former is from Isidore's Etymologies: "Mulier vero a mollitie, tanquam mollier, detracta littera vel mutata, appellata est mulier".
