Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Aramaic מַיְשָׁא / ܡܰܝܫܳܐ (mayšā, “nettle tree”), from Akkadian 𒄑𒈩 (mēsum), from Sumerian 𒄑𒈩 (g̃ešmes /mes/), apparently also the nettle tree, contrasted with 𒄑𒈩𒈣𒃶𒈾 (musukkannum, literally “mes from Makan”), a tree from the East used for wood, apparently sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo). In Hebrew, the former is found as מַיִשׁ (mayiš, “nettle tree”), the later as מְסֻכָּן (məsukkān).
