Forms:

α. late Middle English moddyr, late Middle English moder, late Middle English modyr, late Middle English– modder, 1500s moether, 1500s–1600s moather, 1500s–1600s 1800s– mother, 1600s modhdher, 1600s mothther, 1600s– mauther, 1600s– modher, 1700s– mawther, 1800s– maadhur, 1800s– morther, 1800s– motha.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: mother n.¹

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps originally a variant of mother n.¹, with early shortening of Old English and Middle English long close ō (attested by spellings with modd- ) and subsequent relengthening. A contracted form (see β. forms) is common, chiefly in vocative use, in East Anglia. Compare Norwegian use of mor mother, in familiar address to young girls (as far father, is to boys).A connection with either Old Icelandic mær (see may n.³) or Old English mægeð , mægð (see maiden n.), both in sense ‘maiden, girl’, is highly unlikely on phonological grounds. Now chiefly current in East Anglia, but Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v. records α. forms from Yorkshire, Cumberland, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Hertfordshire. The word has long been associated with East Anglia, compare:a1652 R. Brome Eng. Moor iii. i. 39 in Five New Playes (1659) O th'art a Norfolk woman (cry thee mercy) Where Maids are Mothers, and Mothers are Maids.

Now English regional (chiefly East Anglian).

A girl or young woman.
