Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Middle English verb 'mufflen', meaning to wrap up or conceal, likely influenced by Middle Dutch 'moffelen' (to muffle or stammer) or Old French 'moufle' (mitten). Over time, the meaning evolved from physically wrapping something to suppress warmth or protect, to specifically describing sounds that are deadened, muted, or rendered indistinct by a barrier.
