miltn.

Brit.

/mɪlt/, U.S.

/mɪlt/

Forms: early Old English miltæ (rare), early Old English milti, early Old English multi (rare), early Old English–1500s milte, early Old English– milt, Middle English mylthe (transmission error), Middle English–1500s melte, Middle English–1500s mylt, Middle English–1500s mylte, Middle English– melt, late Middle English multe; Scottish pre-1700 meilt, pre-1700 melt.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian milte (feminine) spleen (West Frisian milt , mylt ), Middle Dutch milte , melte , milt (feminine) spleen, milt of fish (Dutch milt spleen, (regional) milt of fish), Old Saxon milti (of uncertain gender) spleen (Middle Low German milte , feminine), Old High German milzi (neuter) spleen (Middle High German milze , neuter, German Milz , feminine), Old Icelandic milti (neuter) spleen, Old Swedish miälte , miälter , milter (masculine) spleen, Swedish mjälte (masculine) spleen (Swedish regional milter (feminine) spleen), Old Danish milt (feminine) spleen (Danish milt ) < a Germanic base probably either < the Indo-European base of melt v.¹ (apparently with reference to the supposed digestive function of the spleen), or < an extended form of the Indo-European base of milk n.¹ (apparently with reference to the milky-white colour of the lymphoid follicles of the spleen). The extensive variation in gender between, and in some cases within, the different Germanic languages is reflected in the situation in Old English, where this word appears as both masculine and feminine. The sense ‘soft roe of fish’ (see sense 2) may have been adopted < Dutch (although the sense in question is first attested in Dutch later than in English), but as the milt of a fish is of soft substance like the spleen, the extended use was not unnatural, and was no doubt helped to gain currency by the resemblance in sound between milt and milk , used earlier in the same sense: see milk n.¹ 4a. This sense also existed in 19th-cent. Norwegian, where mjelte milt was homophonous with mjelte a milking (compare Old Icelandic mjalta to milk). The form mjelte is no longer found in Norwegian for either sense, while milt, milte is used for spleen.The spelling multi in the Épinal Glossary is difficult to explain with certainty.

a. The spleen, esp. (now) the spleen of an animal reared for food.

Brit. /mɪlt/, U.S. /mɪlt/ Forms: early Old English miltæ (rare), early Old English milti, early Old English multi (rare), early Old English–1500s milte, early Old English– milt, Middle English mylthe (transmission error), Middle English–1500s melte, Middle English–1500s mylt, Middle English–1500s mylte, Middle English– melt, late Middle English multe; Scottish pre-1700 meilt, pre-1700 melt.
