"Moot" is an interesting word, Richard. From
Webster's - "moot - 1. a: debatable, b: disputed"
Have a look here.

I remember 'Moot Hall' from my days at primary school (some 60 years
ago), learning about the Anglo-Saxons. I guess the word may possibly be
associated with 'meet', ie a meeting hall where things were debated.
However, my Anglo-Saxon is a bit rusty (not much call for it these
days).
