[Middle English milne, mille, from Old English mylen, from Late Latin molīna, molīnum, from feminine and neuter of molīnus, of a mill, from Latin mola, millstone, from molere, to grind; see melə- in Indo-European roots.]
To mill, in Western U.S. English, means "to run cattle in a circle, sometimes deliberately in order to halt a stampede." In the Oxford English Dictionary we find this 19th-century example of the verb: "At last the cattle ran with less energy, and it was presently easy to 'mill' them into a circle and to turn them where it seemed most desirable" (Munsey's Magazine). This usage of mill comes from the resemblance of the cattle's circular motion to the action of millstones. A related intransitive sense of the verb is better known in Standard English, as shown in the Oxford English Dictionary citation of an 1888 quotation from Theodore Roosevelt: "The cattle may begin to run, and then get 'milling'-that is, all crowd together into a mass like a ball, wherein they move round and round." Originally this sense of mill also meant "circular motion"; now it means "to move around in churning confusion" with no pattern in particular.

mill (n.1)

"building fitted to grind grain," O.E. mylen "mill," an early Gmc. borrowing from L.L. molina, molinum "mill" (cf. Fr. moulin, Sp. molino), originally fem. and neut. of molinus "pertaining to a mill," from L. mola "mill, millstone," related to molere "to grind," from PIE *mel-/*mol-/*ml- "grind" (cf. Gk. myle "mill"). Also from L.L. molina, directly or indirectly, are Ger. Mühle, Dan. mølle, O.C.S. mulinu. Broader sense of "grinding machine" is attested from 1560. Other types of manufacturing machines driven by wind or water, whether for grinding or not, began to be called mills by 1417. Sense of "building fitted with industrial machinery" is from 1502. The verb meaning "to grind" is attested from 1552.

Mill

for grinding corn, mentioned as used in the time of Abraham (Gen. 18:6). That used by the Hebrews consisted of two circular stones, each 2 feet in diameter and half a foot thick, the lower of which was called the "nether millstone" (Job 41:24) and the upper the "rider." The upper stone was turned round by a stick fixed in it as a handle. There were then no public mills, and thus each family required to be provided with a hand-mill. The corn was ground daily, generally by the women of the house (Isa. 47:1, 2; Matt. 24:41). It was with the upper stone of a hand-mill that "a certain woman" at Thebez broke Abimelech's skull (Judg. 9:53, "a piece of a millstone;" literally, "a millstone rider", i.e., the "runner," the stone which revolves. Comp. 2 Sam. 11:21). Millstones could not be pledged (Deut. 24:6), as they were necessary in every family.
