Where did the phrase milling around originate?
The term 'milling around' or 'milling about' meaning to move (as in a crowd or substantial group of people) aimlessly within a confined or defined area, with no especial purpose discernible, comes from the sight of grain passing through a hopper to the grinding stone below. The grain is poured into the hopper, where it is moved slowly about in some way to make it fall down into the millstones or grinding mechanism. Watching the grains 'mill about' can be almost hypnotic.
