Can you recognize a common word from some of its definitions?

Let's play a game of Obfuscation.

Today's word, a noun, has four letters.

? ... ? ... ? ... ?

The word means:

 ◼️ One kind of abnormal uterine mass.

 ◼️ A permanent, pigmented, bodily protuberance.

 ◼️ A burrowing insectivore (especially of the family Talpidae) with tiny eyes, concealed ears and soft fur.

 ◼️ The English version of a German word that's short for the German Molekulargewicht.

 ◼️ A chile sauce made with chocolate and served with meat.

 ◼️ A massive work formed of masonry and large stones or earth laid in the sea.

 ◼️ In the International System of Units, the amount of a pure substance that has exactly 6.02214076 x 1023 indivisible units (such as atoms or molecules) of that substance.

 ◼️ A spy.

"Today" was the word Feb. 6. I'll print today's answer Feb. 20, but feel free to email if you'd like to know earlier.
