Etymology

Within Balto-Slavic a connection can be drawn with Latvian mustavas ‎(“warping beam”) (compare muštùvas); Slovene mašiti ‎(“fill, clog up”) and perhaps Bulgarian му́ша ‎(múša, “stab, poke”) < *moux-.[1] These forms point to Proto-Indo-European -s- and a root of *mews- ‎(“poke, beat”); compare Sanskrit मुष्णाति ‎(muṣṇāti, “steal, break”).

According to Beekes[2], the root is *h₂muḱ-; compare Ancient Greek ἀμύσσω ‎(amússō, “scratch, tear”), Latin mūcrō ‎(“sharp point”). However, neither the semantic nor formal arguments make a convincing case for the Lithuanian term to belong here.
