Noun

IPA: /ˈmu.li.er/ [Classical], [ˈmʊlʲiɛr] [Classical], /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”), while others propose it might be akin to mulgere and therefore mean “the milk-giver”.
