The etymology is disputed, options include:\n* influence from German wissen wo Barthel Most holt (“to know where Barthel gets must/wine”), which is attested somewhat earlier than the Dutch expression.\n* mosterd (“mustard”) being a corruption of mutsaard (“faggot, bundle of firewood”), so the original form would literally mean “to know where Abraham gets his bundle of firewood”. The expression then refers to the Aqedah or binding of Isaac in Genesis 22.",
