Etymology 1

[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *mydlo, from *myti (to wash). By surface analysis, мыть (mytʹ) +‎ -ло (-lo).

For the term and помо́и (pomói) relation with мыть (mytʹ), compare typologically Ancient Greek ῥύμμα (rhúmma) < ῥύπτω (rhúptō, to cleanse, to wash). Also compare σμῆμα (smêma) < σμάω (smáō). Also compare English lye << Proto-Indo-European *lewh₃-.

  2. (usually uncountable) lather
