[ˈmiː.ɫɛs]

Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Unknown; possibly of Etruscan origin. The suffix seems similar to that of comes, eques, pedes, and veles, but the origin of the mīl- is obscure. A connection to mīlia (“thousands”), perhaps as "person going by the thousand(s)", is difficult to confidently motivate semantically.
