Etymology: "Mottlers" is the plural of "mottler", a noun meaning things with blotches. The base word "mottle" means to mark something with a pattern of irregular spots or blotches, and the suffix "-er" attached to it produces a noun for the things that carry that marking. So a mottler is anything mottled, and the plural simply names more than one such thing.

Synonyms: spotters, specklers, blotchers, stainers, mark makers
