Etymology

The term 'mullioned' comes from the late Middle English word 'mullyon', which is derived from the Old French 'moulon', meaning 'a small millstone'. This word has roots in the Latin 'mola', which refers to a grinding stone. The architectural usage began to emerge in the 16th century as buildings adopted more complex styles, particularly during the Gothic period, when vertical elements became a prominent feature of windows. The design was prevalent in monumental architecture and has influenced many modern interpretations in residential and commercial buildings. Overall, the evolution of 'mullioned' reflects the intersection of function and art in architectural design.
