===Etymology 1===
{{etymon|en|id=female parent|inh|enm>moder>mother|tree=1}}
From {{inh|en|enm|moder}}, from {{inh|en|ang|mōdor}}, from {{inh|en|gmw-pro|*mōder}}, from {{inh|en|gem-pro|*mōdēr}}, from {{inh|en|ine-pro|*méh₂tēr}}. {{doublet|en|Madeira|mata|mater|matrix|matter}}.

Some have proposed that the "dregs" sense is from {{noncog|dum|modder|t=filth}}, from {{der|en|gem-pro|*muþraz|t=sediment}}, but {{m|dum|modder}} is not known in this meaning. On the other hand, words for "mother" have developed the secondary sense of "dregs" in several Romance and Germanic languages; compare {{cog|nl|moer}}, {{cog|fr|mère de vinaigre}}, {{cog|de|Essigmutter}}, {{cog|it|madre}}, {{cog|ML.|māter}}, and {{cog|es|madre}}.<ref>{{R:OED Online|entry=mother|pos=''n.''{{sup|2}}|noformat=1|id=122641|date=June 2022}}</ref>
