leather bag

Etymology

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *molko- (‘leather pouch’) and connected with Ancient Greek μολγός (molgós) (molgós, ‘leather bag’). However, Kroonen notes a formal mismatch between the Germanic and Hellenic terms, and suggests that both terms were borrowed from Thracian, or otherwise from some prehistoric Wanderwort.
