Mull audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Mull is a verb meaning to think over something carefully for a period of time before deciding.
Narrator: Say MUL. IPA: (MUL). One syllable, short vowel.
Narrator: It likely comes from a grinding or mixing image, as if turning ideas over slowly like mulled spices in a pot.
Narrator: In everyday English, mull over is the common phrasal form: to mull over a plan, an offer, or a difficult choice.
Narrator: The meaning stayed reflective and unhurried, unlike quick guess or snap judgment.
Narrator: Register is neutral and conversational, common in meetings, writing, and personal decisions.
Narrator: It differs from ponder, which sounds more formal, and from hesitate, which focuses on delay rather than thinking.
Narrator: Closing line: to mull is to let an idea ripen before you act.
