mutter etymology

Etymology:

• Middle English: moder, from Old English: mōdor, from Proto-West Germanic: *mōđēr, from Proto-Germanic: *mōdēr
• From the Proto-Indo-European root: *mā́tēr, meaning "mother"

Meaning:

• A woman who has given birth to a child, especially in relation to that child
• A female parent

Origin:

The word "mother" is a cognate in many Indo-European languages, including:

• Ancient Greek: μήτηρ (mētēr)
• Latin: māter
• Sanskrit: माता (mātā)
• German: Mutter
• French: mère
• Spanish: madre

The Proto-Indo-European root *mā́tēr is also believed to be the origin of the words "mater" (in English and many other languages) meaning "material" or "matter," as well as "matrix" meaning "womb" or "source." This suggests a connection between mothers and the concept of nourishing, growth, and creation.
