moot (verb transitive) 1. to debate or discuss 2. to propose or bring up for discussion or debate 3. to reduce or remove the practical significance of; make purely theoretical or academic.
I was using "mooted" in the second sense = I've heard it proposed, suggested. The origins of the word date to before 900 AD (ME, mot(e), meeting or assembly); "moot," therefore, is etymologically connected to the word "meet."
