# moulder

verb (moulders, mouldered, mouldering)

«moulder» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. To moulder is to decay slowly and crumble, as old wood or stone does over many years. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/moulder/#m1)
2. «Mouldering» describes something old, falling to pieces and rotting. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/moulder/#m2)

### In the lessons

in stories an old house, dovecot or castle is left to rot and fall apart, which suggests age and neglect; do not confuse with «mould», the green fungus

### Examples

- The old dovecot was mouldering in the field. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/moulder/#x1)
- Old bones moulder in the ground. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/moulder/#x2)
- Nobody had lived in the castle for years, and it began to moulder. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/moulder/#x3)

### Note

nothing for maths; it describes decay, not an amount.

## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: The word is read as a picture of how people and their works fall away, while God's word stands. In the primary lessons: in stories an old house, dovecot or castle is left to rot and fall apart, which suggests age and neglect; do not confuse with «mould», the green fungus

### Note

nothing for maths; it describes decay, not an amount.
