Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: moufle

Inherited from Old French: mofle

Cognate with Dutch: moffel

In summary

Inherited from Middle French moufle, from Old French mofle (“thick glove”), from Medieval Latin muffula (817, Carolingian), a Germanic borrowing from Frankish *molfell (“soft garment made of hide”), from *mol (“softened, forworn”) + *fell (“hide, skin”), from Proto-Germanic *mildijaz (“tender, soft”) + *fellą (“skin, film, fleece”). Compare modern Dutch moffel.
