OriginMiddle English: apparently from Old French modle, from Latin modulus (see modulus). The root of mould ‘a hollow container used to give shape to hot material when it cools’ is Latin modulus, source of model (late 16th century) and module (late 16th century). The mould that is a furry growth of fungi is unconnected, and came from a Scandinavian word into late Middle English. The origins of the expression to break the mould, ‘to change to a markedly different way of doing things’, comes from the manufacture of objects cast in moulds. Destroying a mould afterwards ensured that no further copies could be made. The phrase dates from the 1560s and probably comes from a translation of the Italian epic poem Orlando Furioso, written by Ludovico Ariosto in 1532: ‘Nature made him and then broke the mould.’ Mould in the sense ‘earth’ as in leaf mould is a Germanic word found in Old English (see mole).
