Etymology

In summary

Probably formed from *muelto 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.
