μύσος
See also: Μυσός
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editThe word recalls μῖσος (mîsos, “hatred”) but remains without certain etymology. Pokorny compares Irish mosach (“shaggy, bristly”), Low German mussig (“dirty”) and Russian му́слить (múslitʹ, “to suck, beslaver”). The group has been compared with the root of μαδάω (madáō, “to be moist”), but this remains hypothetical.
