The prehistoric sense was doubtless ‘to intend’ (Indo-Germanic root men-: mon-: mn- to think: see mind n.); ON. has a slightly differentiated form (inf. mona, muna) with the sense ‘to remember’: see mone v.
In ON. the pres. sing. has a variant man: see maun v. In mod. Eng. dialects the pa. tense appears to be represented by mud, coincident in form with a frequent unstressed variant of the past tense of may v.; the two auxiliaries have therefore partly coalesced in the pa. tense

An auxiliary verb, followed by inf. without to. In mod. dialects equivalent to ‘must’; in early use sometimes with the sense ‘shall’ (pa. tense = ‘should’, ‘would’).
