What is 'moil', exactly ?

While it's technically a negatively connotated  term, I have a love of etymology and archaic language.  So when I was making a blog to put stuff I worked on,  it felt natural  to call it "Moiling"

 check it out:

moiling  
present participle of moil (Verb)

Verb
  1. Work hard.
  2. Move around in confusion or agitation.
intr.v. moiled, moil·ing, moils
1. To toil; slave.
2. To churn about continuously.
n.
1. Toil; drudgery.
2. Confusion; turmoil.

[Middle English mollen, to soften by wetting, from Old French moillier, from Vulgar Latin *mollire, from Latin mollia (pnis), the soft part (of bread), from neuter pl. of mollis, soft; see mel-1 in Indo-European roots.]
