Mus  ,, from the  muschel,  muscula, , ‘mussel, shellfish.’ Borrowed from the   musculus,.   ,, ‘muscle’ (of the body), only, borrowed from the   musculus.   , anom. , ‘to be obliged; must,’ from müeȥen,  muoȥan, , ‘to like, be able; be allowed, be obliged’ (see );   motân,  moeten, ‘to be obliged; ought,’  *motan, ‘to be allowed, be able, like, be obliged,’ in  only the  must ( môste, ‘was obliged’) has been preserved with the meaning of the ;  gamôtan, ‘to take place, have room.’ The origin of these cognates is doubtful; they can scarcely be connected with.   , and, allied to  , “half the stock of provisions left on the death of a husband, and what remains thirty days later when an inventory is made; one half belongs to the widow and the other to the heirs” (Lessing); the share of the widow is called. Even in (in the  of the Saxon Code) musteile for *muosteile occurs.   ,, ‘sample, model, paragon,’ first occurs in early , from the  mostra;   montre ( muster,  monster), ‘sample.’ Allied to  monstrare.   ,, ‘leisure, ease,’ from muoȥe,  muoȥa, , ‘leisure, ease, inactivity,’  also ‘possibility, suitable occasion’; allied to the    môtan (see ). —   ,, ‘at leisure,’ from müeȥec,  muoȥîg, ‘at leisure, unemployed.’   , . ‘courage, mood,’ from and  muot,, ‘sense, mind, spirits, courage,’  môd, ‘spirits, inner self, heart, courage,’  moed, , ‘courage,’  môd, , ‘mind, spirits, heart, courage, zeal,’  mood,  môds, , ‘auger.’ ‘Strong emotion, violent excitement,’ is the primary idea of the common  stem môda-, the origin of which cannot be traced with certainty in the non- languages. The usual derivation from the root mā̆, μαίομαι, ‘to desire,’ is possible. the root mě in sŭměją (sŭměti), ‘to venture.’ —   in, from   wol gemuot, ‘courageous,’ and the simple gemuot, ‘minded, disposed.’ —  , ‘spirits, disposition,’ from  gemüete,  gimuoti, ,  a collective of , ‘totality of thoughts and feelings,’  also ‘mood, longing,’  ‘joy.’ <section end="Mut" /> <section begin="Mutter" /> ,, ‘mother,’ from muoter,  muotar, ;   môdar,  moeder,  môddôr, môdor;  mother (with th when followed by er, as in father, weather);  môðer. The common word for ‘mother,’ wanting only in, in which aiþei  was the current term, just as atta was used for ‘father’ instead of fadar. môdar, ‘mother,’ from pre- mâtêr, is, like many other terms denoting degrees of relationship, common also to the Aryan languages;  mâtṛ,  μήτηρ, μάτηρ,  mâter,  mati,  máthir ( môtė, ‘married woman’). It is allied to and its cognates, as well as to  μαῖα, ‘good mother’ (as a kindly address). Whether these words are based on an Aryan root mâ, meaning ‘to mete out’ (, ‘apportioner, distributor’?), or in its sense, ‘to form’ (of the embryo in the womb), is uncertain. — <section end="Mutter" /> <section begin="Mutterkrebs" /> , ‘female crayfish,’ ‘a crayfish at the period when it casts its shell,’ had  nothing to do with ; it contains rather  muter,   ( mûtare). . <section end="Mutterkrebs" /> <section begin="Mütze" /> ,, from the late  mütze, mutze, , ‘cap, bonnet,’ which is a shortened form of the  armuȥ, almuȥ. It is derived from almutia, armutia, almutium,  ‘amictus quo Canonici caput humerosque tegebant,’ worn also at a later period by laymen; the development of meaning is similar to that of. almutia, the origin of which is entirely obscure (al is thought to be the article), appears in. aumusse or aumuce, ‘amess’ (fur cap worn by officials in Roman Catholic churches). <section end="Mütze" /> ,, ‘to dress up, adorn’; in the sense of ‘to be out of humour,’ from , like from ,  from ; but  , ‘to throw in one's teeth, blame,’ from  ûfmützen, ‘to dress up, adorn,’  mutzen, mützen, ‘to dress, adorn.’  thus means ‘to puff.’
