Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventory

From Spanish almud and Portuguese almude, both from Andalusian Arabic مد (mudd), from Arabic مُدّ (mudd), probably via Aramaic 𐡬𐡣𐡩𐡠 (mdyʾ) and מוֹדְיָא (moḏyā) or Classical Syriac ܡܘܿܕܝܳܐ (moḏyā) from Akkadian 𒉘𒈨𒌍 (/⁠maddattu, middattu⁠/, “kind of vessel, unit of volume”). Doublet of almude. Cognate with Ancient Greek μόδιος (módios), Latin modius, French muid, and Dutch mud.
