OriginOld English mylen, based on late Latin molinum, from Latin mola 'grindstone, mill', from molere 'to grind'. Early mills ground corn into flour using water or wind power. The root of mill is Latin molere ‘to grind’, also the source of meal ‘the edible part of any grain or pulse’, and molar (Middle English) the grinding tooth. Since the early 19th century people have been able to put someone through the mill, or cause them to have a difficult experience. A millstone (Old English) is a large circular stone used to grind corn. The origins of a millstone around your neck, ‘a heavy burden of responsibility’, lie in a far more unpleasant practice. It is thought to come from an ancient method of execution which involved throwing a person into deep water with a heavy stone attached to their neck.
