Molt
\Molt\, Moult
\Moult\, v. i. [imp. & p. p.
Molted or
Moulted; p. pr. & vb. n.
Molting or
Moulting.] [OE.
mouten, L. mutare. See
Mew to molt, and cf.
Mute, v. t.]
[The prevalent spelling is, perhaps,
moult; but as the
u
has not been inserted in the otherwords of this class, as,
bolt, colt, dolt, etc., it is desirable to complete the
analogy by the spelling
molt.]
To shed or cast the hair, feathers, skin, horns, or the like,
as an animal or a bird. --Bacon.
[1913 Webster]
