Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Spanish. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: Spanish mostazo; Italian mostaccio.
Etymology: Partly < Spanish mostazo (1570), mostacho (1591–2; 1596 in plural as mostachos ; the more usual word in this sense in Spanish is bigote bigote n.), and partly < its etymon Italian mostaccio face, (now regional) moustache (14th cent.; compare Italian mustacchio moustache (16th cent.: see note below)) < post-classical Latin mustacium moustache (8th cent. in plural form mustacia in Épinal Gloss.), probably < Byzantine Greek μουστάκιον moustache (earliest attested in Meletius the Monk, perhaps 9th cent.) < μούστακ- , μούσταξ , variant of ancient Greek or Hellenistic Greek μυστακ- , μύσταξ (also βύσταξ ) moustache (see below) + -ιον , diminutive suffix. Compare Catalan mostatxo (1695). Compare moustache n.Ancient Greek or Hellenistic Greek μυστακ- , μύσταξ may derive < the base seen in Hellenistic Greek μύλλον lip, with an ending modelled on μάσταξ (feminine) mouth, jaws. All the cognates in the languages of Western Europe seem to be derived < Italian mostaccio or variants (although in Italian itself this word has now been superseded by mustacchio , a later borrowing of the medieval Greek reflex of Byzantine Greek μουστάκιον ), whereas the Eastern European cognates, Bulgarian mustak , mustaci , and Albanian mustak , mustaqe , seem to be derived from modern Greek μουστάκι . The etymology of Romanian mustaţă is disputed. In quot. 1551 at sense 1aα. (with singular sense) after Italian (plural) mostacci (plural). In form mostachium (see quot. 1598 at sense 1bα. ) after classical Latin -ium (see -y suffix4). The β. forms apparently result from various misapprehensions of the word's form; some may result from folk-etymological association with Spanish muchacho boy. The word has long been restricted chiefly to use in the plural (compare moustache n. 1b); N.E.D. (1908) states that ‘the plural mustachios has considerable currency, sometimes occurring in books that have moustache in the singular’. N.E.D. (1908) gives the pronunciation as (mustɑ·ʃo, mɒ̆s-) /mʊˈstɑːʃəʊ/ /məˈstɑːʃəʊ/; compare discussion s.v. moustache n.
Now chiefly archaic and humorous.
