Part of speech: verb
noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From Middle English moochen, mouchen (“to pretend poverty”), from Old French muchier, mucier, mucer (“to skulk, hide, conceal”), from Frankish *mukkjan (“to hide, conceal oneself”), from Proto-Germanic *mukjaną, *mūkōną (“to hide, ambush”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)mūg-, *(s)mewgʰ- (“swindler, thief”).
Cognate with Old High German mūhhōn (“to store, cache, plunder”), Middle High German muchen, mucken (“to hide, stash”), Middle English müchen, michen (“to rob, steal, pilfer”). More at mitch.
Alternate etymology derives mooch from Middle English mucchen (“to hoard, be stingy”, literally “to hide coins in one's nightcap”), from Middle English mucche (“nightcap”), from Middle Dutch mutse (“cap, nightcap”), from Medieval Latin almucia (“nightcap”), of unknown origin, possibly Arabic.

examples: Over a sonata by Schubert he — well, I suppose I must not say that he moodled, or maundered, or anything of that sort.
The Poet moodles (from Brenda Ueland's If You Want to Write). She fools around, meanders, and takes time for feelings and not just ideas.
I cannot begin to count the number of times I have moodled, set a sermon aside, often in midstream, and taken a walk through the church gardens, or around the city block, even caught a brief nap on the study sofa; in other words, I have let my mind lie fallow, and then returned to the task with inspiration renewed.
She moodled all day and all night. Hundreds of tiny notions streamed from her head and ideas bounced back and forth, but no real possibilities formed.
