語源 1
Unknown, attested since the 1920s. Suggested origins, none of which are accepted by mainstream lexicographers, include:
- from Romani mol (“have value, be worth”)
- from Irish moll óir (“heap of gold”) However, this is unlikely because of the difference in pronunciation.
- from French moulin (“mill”)
- from Chinook Jargon moola (“mill”)
- from Sanskrit मूल (mūla, “capital, principal”)
- coined by Chuck Green, a friend of Damon Runyon
