Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: One supposed *μογ-σλο-ς with the same instrumental suffix as e.g. in Lat. pālus `pole' \< *paḱ-slos (cf. on πάσσαλος and μύχλος). Acc. to Chantraine Form. 240 rather with λο-suffix and expressive aspiration. The basis is in any case the same word (verb?) as in μόχθος and μογέω (s. vv.). -- Schulze KZ 28, 270 n. 1 = Kl. Schr. 437 n. 1 (p. 438) identified μοχλός with a from Lat. mōlior reconsructed * mōlos `lever'; diff. on mōlior W.-Hofmann s.v. To be rejected Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73, 528: to Skt. myakṣ- `sit fast' as also in μόχθος. - The variation and the connection with μόχθος and μογέω shows that the word is Pre-Greek.
