5 μῶλος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `battle, toil and moil of war' (Il. σ 233, Hes. Sc. 257; after these Archil. 3).Compounds: As 2. member in εὔμωλος ἀγαθὸς πολεμιστής, εὔοπλος (H.) with Εὑμωλ-ίων (Sparta); further in the words from Gortyn, which belong semantically together ἀντί-μωλος = ' ἀντίδικος, opponent in a suit' with ἀντι- μωλ-ία δίκη εἰς ἥν οἱ ἀντίδικοι παραγίνονται (H. s. μωλεῖ), ἀμφί-μωλος `because of whom a suit is carried, disputable', ἀμωλ-εί `without suit', uncertain ἀγχεμω[λία], = ' ἀγχιστεία'?Derivatives: Denom. verb. μωλέω, also with ἀμφι-, ἀπο-, ἐπι-, `be at law' (Gort.), μωλεῖ μάχεται, μωλήσεται μαχήσεται, πικρανθήσεται H. -- Here prob. also Μώλεια n. PN. of an Arcad. feast (sch. A. R. 1, 164).Etymology: Unknown. Usually with Bezzenberger-Fick BB 6, 239 a.o. connected with Lat. mōlēs `heavy mass, heaviness, effort, difficulty'; orig. meaning then *`effort, labour v.t.' (still retained in μῶλος Ἄρηος?), from where `fight' (cf. πόνος); from there with transition in the juridical sphere `lawsuit'; cf. διώκειν, φεύγειν and Trümpy Fachausdrücke 160ff., Ruijgh L'élém. ach. 95f. A quite hypothetical attempt to connect μῶλος and mōlēs morphologically with each other, by Pedersen Cinq. décl. lat. 62 (Schwyzer 425). -- Separation of an l-suffix makes connection possible with a Germ.-Slav. group, e.g. OHG muoan `burden, mühen' (with müde etc.), Russ. máj-u, - atь `tire, exhaust, tease', Lith. prisi-muol-ėti `get tired'. More forms in WP. 2, 301f., Pok. 746, W.-Hofmann s. mōlēs, Vasmer s. májatь.Page in Frisk: 2,Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μῶλος
