Etymology[edit]

Probably formed from *muelto[1][2] a hypothetical old past participle of moler (cf. Latin molitus), and the suffix -ura (compare Catalan mòlt as the past participle of moldre, Old French mols, mous for moldre, moudre, etc.) Alternatively, possibly corresponds to a Vulgar Latin *molitūra (compare French mouture, Friulian muldure), from Latin molitus.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /molˈtuɾa/ [mol̪ˈt̪u.ɾa]
  • Rhymes: -uɾa
