Etymology

From Middle English milwell (amid many other forms), from Anglo-Norman meluel (amid other forms) and Old French moluel, probably from moruel, from Old Breton mor (“sea”) (from Proto-Brythonic *mor) + Old French lus and luz (“pike, [as sea-luce] hake”) + -el (diminutive suffix). Cognate with modern French morue.
