Etymology edit

Uncertain. Apparently from *lust +‎ *moce. The first element may be lust (pleasure) or may refer to a different unknown term. The second element is probably related to *moc (dung, muck) (found in hlōsmoc (pigsty dung)), distantly related to Old Norse myki (manure, dung), whence Middle English muk, mok (dung, filth), English muck.
