Etimologia (Inglese)

Preso in prestito da italiano: muffa

In summary

Uncertain. Some sources claim the word comes from Spanish moho or Italian muffa (“mildew, mold”) and derive the verb mofar (“to grow mold”) from the noun; other sources claim a deverbal derivation from mofar, but fail to explain the etymology of the verb.
