The moment of a force (or torque) with respect to a fixed origin is defined as the cross product of the position and force:

The moment of force is the rate of change of angular momentum

Just like how force is the rate of change of linear momentum, torque is the rate of change (time derivative) of angular momentum:

For proof, see Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum.
