Etymology

The word 'moil' originates from the Middle English 'moilen', which meant 'to toil' or 'to work hard'. This, in turn, came from the Old French 'moiler', meaning 'to grind', reflecting a sense of laborious effort. As the word evolved, it retained its association with hard work or toil, especially in physically demanding contexts. The term has mostly fallen out of common use but still appears in literary contexts or discussions about hard labor. Over time, 'moil' has come to represent the arduous nature of work, highlighting both the physical exertion involved and the perseverance required to carry out difficult tasks.
