mill weirn.

Brit.

/ˈmɪlwɪə/, U.S.

/ˈmɪlˌwɪ(ə)r/

Forms: see mill n.¹ and weir n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mill n.¹, weir n.

Etymology: < mill n.¹ + weir n. Compare Middle Dutch molenwēre, German Mühlwehr, Mühlenwehr. N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (milwī^ə·ɹ) /mɪlˈwɪə(r)/: however, the metre of quot. 1872 implies, and Cent. Dict. explicitly states, that the stress fell on the first syllable, as would be normal in a compound noun.

= mill-dam n.
