[See Mass ; Offertorium.] This definition, how- ever, extends no farther than the conventional meaning of the word. Its origin involves some very grave etymological difficulties, immeasur- ably increased by the varied mode of spelling adopted by early writers. For instance, the form MotiUus can scarcely fail to suggest a comiption of Modulus — a Cantilena or Melody ; and in support of this derivation we may remind our readers that in the 13th and 14th centuries, and even earlier, the terms Mote...tus and Motellvs werc constantly applied to the voice -part afterwards called Medius or Altus, On the other hand, the idea that the true ety- mon is supplied by the Italian word MoUetto, Digitized by CjOOQIC 272 MOTET MOTET diminutive oi Motto, and equivalent to the French TM>1 or hon inot, a jest, derives some colour from the fact that it was unquestionably applied, in the first instance, to a certain kind of profane music, which in the 13th century was severely cen- sured by the Church, in common with the Bondellus, another kind of popular melody, and the Conducius, a species of secular song, in which the subject in the tenor was original, and suggested the other parts, after the manner of the Ouida of a canon.
