Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French molture; Latin molitura.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French molture, moulture, multure miller's wages, grinding of grain, grain, toll levied on grain ground (13th cent.; French mouture ) and their etymon post-classical Latin molitura grinding of grain, grain, toll levied on grain ground (9th cent.; from 11th cent. in British sources; also moltura , multura : see below) < classical Latin molit- , past participial stem of molere to grind (see meal n.¹) + -ūra -ure suffix¹. Compare moliture n.Post-classical Latin forms include the following: molatura (996, 1174), moletura (1151, 1301), molitura (frequently from 9th cent.; from 11th cent. in British sources); maltura (c1230 in a British source), miltura (1256 in a British source), moltura (frequently from 9th cent.; from 11th cent. in British sources), multura (frequently from 9th cent.; frequently from c1100 in British sources); mautura (1327), motura (c1180 in a British source), moutura (13th cent. in British and continental sources), mutura (c1285 in a British source); muctura (1429 in a British source), mulctura (1583 in a British source); moldura (1152), modura (1352). The form mulcture is due to association with mulct n. Sense 2 is by confusion with mulct n. It is not certain whether Middle Dutch molter, mulster, mulcter, Middle Low German mülter, Middle High German molter, multer are of the same origin.

Chiefly Scottish. Now historical.

a. A toll consisting of a proportion of the grain carried or of the flour made, paid to the proprietor or tenant of a mill, usually in return for grinding corn. Also: the right to exact this toll.
