Ulf. môtareis = τελώνης]:—a law term, a fee, gratuity, for transacting business, as also a pittance, whence afterwards it came to mean dishonest gain, a bribe, a fee given in stealth or under false pretences; gull er grams múta, gold is the king’s grant, Lex. Run.; rétt er at þeir gefi mútur af fénu, Grág. i. 207; ef maðr tekr dánar-fé austr, þá á hann at gefa mútu til fjár-tokunnar ef hann náir eigi ella, ok gefa sem hann má minnsta, 221; en þú munt eigi vilja selja mik fyrir mútur, Flóv. 37; sníkja til mútu, to go begging for a fee, Grág.

    2. a bribe; en selt réttlætið í sínum dómum fyrir mútur ok manna mun, Al. 105,; eigi róði mútan þá svá miklu með ranglátum dómara, 115; elska sannindi en fyrir-smá mútur, Stj. 299; at þeir hafi tekit fé á gipting systur hans, … en ef einhverr verðr sannr at því, at hann hafi til þess mútu tekit, reiði slíkt upp sveininum sem hann tók mútuna ok heiti drengr at verri, N. G. L. i. 231 (Js. 63), freq. in mod. usage.
    COMPDS: mútufé, mútugirni, mútugjarn, mútugjöf.
