助记提示
1. mousse => moss.
2. This had two distinct meanings: 'swamp' and 'moss'. It is not altogether clear which was primary, but it seems more probable than not that 'moss' (a plant which frequents damp places) was derived from 'swamp'.
3. from PIE *meus- "damp," with derivatives referring to swamps and swamp vegetation.
4. All the Germanic languages have the word in both senses, which is natural because moss is the characteristic plant of boggy places.
5. PIE *meus- "damp" ==> mysophobia, mire, must "new wine", moss.
6. 谐音“没湿”-----淹没在湿润、潮湿的地方-----沼泽地。
7. 该词还被音译为“莫斯、莫丝”。
