mustus
Ido edit
Verb edit
mustus
- conditional of mustar
Latin edit
Etymology edit
Of unclear origin.
Traditionally connected to muscus (“moss”); if so, then from Proto-Indo-European *mus-, *mews- (“damp”), and cognate with English moss, Old High German mos (“moss”) (German Moos), Icelandic mosi, Danish mos, Swedish mossa, Latin muscus (“moss”).
De Vaan shows some skepticism of the above etymology, and provides an alternative theoretical derivation from Proto-Indo-European *mud-s-tos, from *mewd- (“to be cheerful, become happy”),[1] whence Sanskrit मुद् (mud, “to rejoice”), Lithuanian mudrùs (“nimble, alert”).[2] However, he notes that this derivation is semantically bold.
