Proto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Unclear.
- Derksen proposes two possibilities:
- From Proto-Balto-Slavic *mōˀź-, cognate with Lithuanian mė́žti (“to muck out”), Latvian mêzt (“to muck out, to sweep”), mõzêt (“to gobble, to pound, to fool, to harass, to beat”).
- Cognate with Ancient Greek μάσσω (mássō, “to knead”) (aorist passive μαγῆναι (magênai)), Old Armenian մածանիմ (macanim, “to thicken, to stick together”), English make, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂ǵ-.
- Vasmer and Chernykh believe that both of the previous possibilities reflect the same PIE root, which underlies this term.
