Etymology of MUSTACHED

The word "mustached" originates from the Middle French term "moustache", which was borrowed from the Italian term "mostaccio". The Italian word was derived from the Medieval Latin term "mustacium", which referred to a mustache, but it is believed to have its roots in the Greek term "mustax", meaning an upper lip or mustache. Ultimately, the term can be traced back to the Greek word "mullon", which referred to the lip, specifically the upper lip. Over time, with various linguistic influences and changes, the word "mustached" came into use in English to describe someone with a mustache.
