köken: Zoology sense; inherited from Old Swedish miolke. From mjölk (“milk”), after its colour. According to SO attested since latter 15th century. Botany sense; from mjölk (“milk”), after its claimed effect to increase cows’ milk production. According to SO attested since 1792.
From Middle Dutch homme, identical to homme (“mold”), of uncertain origin, but probably related to Old Norse húm (“dusky, twilight”), from Proto-Germanic *skim- (“to shine-”), which has been compared to Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“to cover”), but according to the Etymologisch Woordenboek this is extremely unlikely.
