mahlstickn.

Brit.

/ˈmɔːlstɪk/, U.S.

/ˈmɑlˌstɪk/,

/ˈmɔlˌstɪk/

Forms: 1600s moll stick, 1600s mol stick, 1600s mosstick, 1700s mallstick, 1700s– maulstick, 1800s– mahlstick.

Origin: A borrowing from Dutch, combined with an English element. Etymons: Dutch maalstok , stick n.¹

Etymology: < early modern Dutch maalstok ( < malen to paint (see below) + stok stick: see stock n.¹), with substitution of stick n.¹ for the second element. Compare German Malerstock ( < Maler painter + Stock stick), Malstab ( < malen to paint + Stab staff).The Dutch vowel ā in this word was identified in the 17th cent. variously with English au (giving present day British English/ɔː/) or with ŏ (giving present day British English /ɒ/). The former pronunciation has persisted, but the spelling has been re-formed after earlier modern German †mahlen , †Mahler (now malen , Maler ). Middle Dutch mālen (Dutch malen ; now obsolete) is cognate with Old Frisian mēlia , Old Saxon mālon , mēlon (Middle Low German mālen ), Old High German mālēn , mālōn (Middle High German mālen , German malen ) < a Germanic base with the sense ‘mark, sign, stain’ (see meal n.²).

A light stick with a padded leather ball at one end, held by an artist in one hand as a support for the hand used for painting.
