(Phld.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: As the original, appellative meaning of μοῦσα is unknown and the antique traditions on the Muses do not allow certain conclusions on the name (cf. v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1, 250 f., Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 253 ff.), we only can make guesses about the etymology. -- It may be a formed with -ι̯α to a noun with possible bases *μόντι̯α, *μόνθι̯α. The explanations often connect μένος, μέμονα etc.: from *μόν-τι̯α (Brugmann IF 3, 253ff.), morpholog. difficult, s. Wackernagel KZ 33, 571 ff. (= Kl. Schr. 2, 1204ff.); from *μόν-σα (Lasso de la Vega Emer. 22, 66 ff. with extensive treatment and criticism of predecessors), phonet. difficult; from *μόνθ-ι̯α to μενθήρη, μανθάνω (Ehrlich KZ 41, 287 ff. with further, in eny case wrong connection of Skt. mán-thati `stir'); so μοῦσα prop. "mental excitement"; rejected by Meillet Les dial. indoeur. (Paris 1908) 83, but carefully agreeing Kretschmer Glotta 1, 385; from *μῶ-ντ-ι̯α \> *μόντ-ι̯α, ptc. of μῶσθαι supposedly `meditate', but rather `strive, aim' (Fick KZ 46, 82 with Pl. Kra. 406 a); against this WP. 2, 271; from *μόντ-ι̯α as "mountain-woman, mountain-nymph" (Wackernagel l.c.); but Lat. mons is not found in Greek; rejected a.o. by W.-Hofmann s. mōns. -- Older views in Curtius 312. - Not in Fur. It is rather strange that all explanations start from the assumption that the word is IE, whereas it can quite well be of Pre-Greek origin. Does it continue *monty-a?Page in Frisk: 2,260-261Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μουσ̃α
