What moldy means

Where the word comes from
Moldy comes from mold, which traces back to Old English "mold" or "muld," meaning soil or earth. The fungal sense emerged later, possibly from the notion of growth on damp ground. The adjective form, adding the suffix -y, developed in Middle English to mean "covered with mold" or "decaying."
