mos

From Sanskrit मांस (māṃsa), Proto-Indo-Iranian *māmsám, from Proto-Indo-European *mḗms.


mos

Quid istuc, quaeso? qui istic mos est, Clitipho? itane fieri oportet?

163 BCE, Publius Terentius Afer, Heauton Timorumenos

Tell me, what are you up to? What sort of behavior’s this, Clitipho? Is this the proper way to act?

Ceterum asperitas locorum et Celtiberis, quibus in proelio concursare mos est, velocitatem inutilem faciebat...

27 BCE – 9 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita Libri 28

But the roughness of the ground made nimbleness of no use to the Celtiberians, whose manner it is to be skirmishers in battle...

Magna ergo me voluptas subiit contemplantem mores Scipionis ac nostros.

60 CE – 65 CE, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium Epistula LXXXVI

It was therefore a great pleasure to me to contrast Scipio’s ways with our own.

manner (of behaving), way (of behaving); behavior, conduct

Vah! quam vellem etiam noctu amicis operam mos esset dari!

160 BCE, Publius Terentius Afer, Adelphoe

Oh! How I wish it was the custom to offer services to friends at night as well!

Interfectum esse L. Catilinam et gravissimo supplicio adfectum iam pridem oportebat, idque a me et mos maiorum et huius imperi severitas et res publica postulabat.

63 BCE, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Oratio in Catilinam Secunda

Lucius Catilina ought to have suffered the supreme penalty and been put to death long ago, a course required of me by the practice of our ancestors, the stern tradition of my office, and by interests of state.

Ceterum mos partium popularium et factionum ac deinde omnium malarum artium paucis ante annis Romae ortus est otio atque abundantia earum rerum quae prima mortales ducunt.

41 BCE – 40 BCE, Gaius Sallustius Crispus, De Bello Iugurthino

Furthermore, the usage of political groups and factions, and afterward of all evil practices, originated at Rome a few years before this as the result of peacetime and of an abundance of those things that mortals prize most highly.

...qui quidem mos ut tabes in urbem coiectus...

40 BCE – 35 BCE, Gaius Sallustius Crispus, Historiae Liber IV

...which habit, in truth, foisted upon the City, like a plague...

...nullis polluitur casta domus stupris, mos et lex maculosum edomuit nefas...

13 BCE, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, Carmina, Liber IV

...the home is pure, unstained by any lewdness, custom and law have gained control over the plague of vice...

Mos antiquis fuit usque ad meam servatus aetatem.

60 CE – 65 CE, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium Epistula XV

The old Romans had a custom which survived even into my lifetime.

Reversus e Graecia Neapolim, quod in ea primum artem protulerat, albis equis introiit disiecta parte muri, ut mos hieronicarum est...

121 CE, Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, De vita Caesarum Liber VI: Nero

Returning from Greece, since it was at Naples that he had made his first appearance, he entered that city with white horses through a part of the wall which had been thrown down, as is the custom with victors in the sacred games...

...ut triumphaturi Caesares inde laureas decerperent; fuitque mos triumphantibus, alias confestim eodem loco pangere; et observatum est sub cuiusque obitum arborem ab ipso institutam elanguisse.

121 CE, Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, De vita Caesarum Liber VII: Galba

...moreover it was the habit of those who triumphed to plant other branches at once in that same place, and it was observed that just before the death of each of them the tree which he had planted withered.

Edepol te, mea Antiphila, laudo et fortunatam iudico, id quom studuisti isti formae ut mores consimiles forent...

In heaven’s name, my dear Antiphila, I congratulate you and I judge you fortunate, in that you have made it your concern to see that your temperament matches your beauty...

Vobis cum uno semel ubi aetatem agere decretumst viro, quoius mos maxume consimilis vostrum, hi se ad vos applicant.

With you, on the other hand, once you have decided to live your life with the one man whose disposition is most compatible with yours, they devote themselves to you.

Spondebo enim tibi, vel potius spondeo in meque recipio, eos esse M'. Curii mores eamque quum probitatem, tum etiam humanitatem, ut eum et amicitia tua et tam accurata commendatione, si tibi sit cognitus, dignum sis existimaturus.

62 BCE – 43 BCE, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Epistulae ad Familiares 13.17.3

I shall pledge my word to you, or rather give you my promise and solemn undertaking, that such is M'. Curius's character, such his integrity and his kindliness combined, that if you make his acquaintance, you will assuredly deem him worthy of both your friendship and of so elaborate a recommendation.

Multa sine dubio saevaque Augustus de moribus adulescentis questus, ut exilium eius senatus consulto sanciretur, perfecerat; ceterum in nullius umquam suorum necem duravit, neque mortem nepoti pro securitate privigni inlatam credibile erat. Propius vero Tiberium ac Liviam, illum metu, hanc novercalibus odiis, suspecti et invisi iuvenis caedem festinavisse. Nuntianti centurioni, ut mos militiae, factum esse quod imperasset, neque imperasse sese et rationem facti reddendam apud senatum respondit.

116 CE, Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, Annales

It was beyond question that by his frequent and bitter strictures on the youth’s character Augustus had procured the senatorial decree for his exile: on the other hand, at no time did he harden his heart to the killing of a relative, and it remained incredible that he should have sacrificed the life of a grandchild in order to diminish the anxieties of a stepson. More probably, Tiberius and Livia, actuated in the one case by fear, and in the other by stepmotherly dislike, hurriedly procured the murder of a youth whom they suspected and detested. To the centurion who brought the usual military report, that his instructions had been carried out, the emperor rejoined that he had given no instructions and the deed would have to be accounted for in the senate.

(predominantly plural) character; disposition, inclination, temperament

Tu dedisti iam, hic daturust: istuc habeo, hoc expeto. Uerum utrique mos geratur amborum ex sententia.

190 BCE, Titus Maccius Plautus, Truculentus

You have already given, he will still give: yours I have, his I’m seeking. But each of you will be gratified according to your wishes.

Mos tibi geretur. Sed quid hoc, quaeso?

191 BCE, Titus Maccius Plautus, Pseudolus

I will obey you. But what’s this, please?

Ibam forte Via Sacra, sicut meus est mos nescio quid meditans nugarum, totus in illis...

35 BCE – 34 BCE, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, Satira IX

I was strolling by chance along the Sacred Way, a musing after my fashion (literally, as is my custom) on some trifle or other, and wholly intent thereon...

(transf.) quality, nature, mode, fashion

O tempora, o mores! Senatus haec intellegit, consul videt; hic tamen vivit. Vivit?

63 BCE, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Oratio in Catilinam Prima

Shame on the age and on its principles! The senate is aware of these things; the consul sees them; and yet this man lives. Lives?

Italian: more

Dutch: mores

English: meo more, mores

French: mœurs

Romanian: moare

From Proto-Italic *mōs, root noun interpreted as s-stem noun of uncertain origin. Generally believed to derive from Proto-Indo-European *moh₁-, *meh₁- (“to intend or be intent upon, to be of strong will”) (though the more common meaning of "to measure" may be the original, with "to intend" as a semantic extension), whence Ancient Greek μαίομαι (maíomai, “to strive”) and perhaps Ancient Greek Μοῦσᾰ (Moûsă, “Muse”), and also English mood.
It has also been conjectured that some senses of mōs, such as those having to do with "manner" and "way", may indicate a possible derivation from Proto-Indo-European *med- (“to measure”), compare and contrast modus; if that is true, it would seem to suggest an example of combined etymology or etymologic conflation.
