Etymology

Inherited from Late Latin mūsus (“muzzle”), of uncertain etymology but probably expressive of the shape of protruded lips and/or influenced by Latin mūgīre (“to moo, bellow”). Cognates include Old Spanish and Lombard mus and muson, Middle French musel, English muzzle. Not related to Spanish morro (“hill; muzzle”), Occitan morre (“hill; muzzle”), Provençal mourre (“muzzle; rock”).
