Origin of Mither

  • Late 17th century, unknown origin, possibly Welsh moedrodd to worry or bother. Possible alternative from the Welsh meidda (“to beg for whey") or perhaps meiddio (“to dare or venture"). Bear in mind that the "dd" in Welsh corresponds in sound to the "th" in mither, and English also has moider and moither.

    From Wiktionary

  • Late variant of Old English mōdor.
