Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-Iranian/muštíš
Proto-Indo-Iranian
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *méws-ti-s ~ *mus-téy-s (“fist”), cognate with Tocharian B maśce (“fist”),[1] and possibly Ancient Greek ἀμυστί (amustí, “withouth closing (one's mouth)”) (from *n̥-mus-ti(h₁)), from *mews- (“to shut”) + *-tis,[2] whence Ancient Greek μῡ́ω (mū́ō, “to shut, close”), Hittite [script needed] (muš-, “to eat one's fill”, literally “to close the mouth?”),[3] perhaps further connected to Sanskrit मोष (moṣa, “robber; theft”).[4] Alternatively suggested to derive from Proto-Indo-European *mewḱ- (“to scratch, tear”), whence Lithuanian mùšti (“to strike”), Ancient Greek ἀμύσσω (amússō, “to scratch, tear”),[5][6] however this root is dubious.[4][7]
