Proper name

IPA: /mûː.sa/, /ˈmu.sa/, /ˈmu.sa/, /mûː.sa/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmu.sa/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmu.sa/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmu.sa/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmu.sa/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Of disputed origin. Several hypotheses exist: * From *Μόνθια (*Mónthia), from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think”) + *dʰeh₁-, whence μανθάνω (manthánō). Among theories supposing an Indo-European origin, this is considered most appealing by Beekes. * From *Μόντια (*Móntia), from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to tower; mountain”), since all the most important cult-centres of the Muses were on mountains or hills, but Beekes finds this etymology impossible, as the root *men- (“mountain”) is not otherwise found in Greek. * Pokorny derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *moh₁-, *meh₁- (“endeavour, will, temper”), comparing μῶμαι (mômai, “to seek after, meditate”), μαίομαι (maíomai, “to seek after”), μαιμάω (maimáō, “to be very eager”), Latin mōs (“manner, custom”), English mood, Proto-Slavic *sъmě̀ti (“to dare”). * Beekes suggests the possibility of a borrowing from Pre-Greek, with proto-form *montʸ-a, though there is no evidence for or against substrate origin. * Swerdlow traces it back to Bohairic Coptic Egyptian mōw—apparently cognate with Hebrew מֹשֶׁה (moshé, “Moses”), with medieval sources mentioning that, like the prophet, "music was found by the water".

Among theories supposing an Indo-European origin, this is considered most appealing by Beekes.\n* From *Μόντια (*Móntia), from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to tower; mountain”), since all the most important cult-centres of the Muses were on mountains or hills, but Beekes finds this etymology impossible, as the root *men- (“mountain”) is not otherwise found in Greek.\n* Pokorny derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *moh₁-, *meh₁- (“endeavour, will, temper”), comparing μῶμαι (mômai, “to seek after, meditate”), μαίομαι (maíomai, “to seek after”), μαιμάω (maimáō, “to be very eager”), Latin mōs (“manner, custom”), English mood, Proto-Slavic *sъmě̀ti (“to dare”).\n* Beekes suggests the possibility of a borrowing from Pre-Greek, with proto-form *montʸ-a, though there is no evidence for or against substrate origin.\n* Swerdlow traces it back to Bohairic Coptic Egyptian mōw—apparently cognate with Hebrew מֹשֶׁה (moshé, “Moses”), with medieval sources mentioning that, like the prophet, \"music was found by the water\".",
