The term "law Moses" does not have its own specific etymology, as it is a combination of two separate words: "law" and "Moses".
- Law: The word "law" comes from the Old English word "lagu", meaning "a rule imposed by authority". It has roots in Germanic languages, ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European base *legh-, meaning "to lay, to put, to place". The concept of law has existed in various civilizations throughout history, and the word has been used in its current sense for centuries.
- Moses: "Moses" is a biblical name deriving from Hebrew. It is believed to come from the Hebrew verb "mashah", meaning "to draw out", as Moses was drawn out of the water when he was a baby.
