Etymology of MONTHLING

The word "monthling" appears to be a combination of two separate words: "month" and a suffix "-ling".

The term "month" can be traced back to the Old English word "monað" which meant a lunar month, around 30 days. Its origins can be attributed to the Proto-Germanic word "menōth-", and it is also akin to the Old High German word "manod" and the Old Norse word "mánaðr".

The suffix "-ling" typically denotes a smaller or younger version of something. It comes from the Old English "-ling" or "-linga", which was related to the Middle Low German "-link" and Middle Dutch "-elinc". It is also connected to the Old Norse "-lingr" and the Gothic "-lings".
