/mʊˈdɛləjɑr/,

Forms: 1600s 1800s– modeliar, 1700s moodliar, 1800s modelear, 1800s modelyar, 1800s modiliar, 1800s moodeliar, 1800s moodelier, 1800s– modliar, 1800s– mudaliar, 1900s– modelliar, 1900s– mudaliyar. Also with capital initial.

Etymology: < Tamil mutaliyār, plural of mutali a chief < mutal best. In early use probably via Portuguese modeliar (1685 or earlier; 1522 in form mudolyar , 1616 in form modiliar ), in which language the Tamil plural form was reinterpreted as a singular. Compare post-classical Latin modilial (first half of the 14th cent.), mudeliar (1544), French modeliar (1659 in the passage translated in quot. 1662 at sense 1), Dutch modeliar (1648). Compare mudalali n. N.E.D. (1908) enters this under modeliar and gives the pronunciation as /məʊˈdɛljɑː(r)/.

1. In Sri Lanka: a headman, a chief; a chief military officer. Now historical.Used esp. in various official titles conferred by European colonial powers on native leaders.
