Etymology of MEALEY

The word "mealey" or "mealy" has two possible origins.

1. It is derived from Middle English "meel", meaning "meal" or "flour". "Mealey" was used to describe something that resembled the texture or appearance of meal or flour, particularly when applied to the consistency of porridge or certain types of food. Over time, it evolved into an adjective to describe things that are powdery, granular, or having a coarse or gritty texture.

2. Another possible origin is from the Old English word "mele", which means "mixed". This sense of the word was used to describe something that is a mixture or blend. Over time, "mealey" became an adjective to describe things that are mixed, blended, or having a mottled appearance.
