In light of the previous post, in which we learned what "Bris" means, this one should be really easy.
Milah (מילה) in our context refers to circumcision.
This is why the operator is called a Mohel (מוהל), as in "one who does Milah (one who circumcises)."
(In a different context, the word מילה literally means a "word," as in "don't say another מילה?" "Will you let me get a מילה in response?!")
