Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: mouse n., ear n.¹

Etymology: < mouse n. + ear n.¹, after post-classical Latin auricula muris hawkweed (from 14th cent. in British sources; compare sense 1), chickweed (1538 in a British source; compare sense 2), dog's cabbage (5th cent.; recorded in the 1st cent. a.d. in Greek transliteration in Dioscorides as μοῦρις αὐρίκουλα ) < classical Latin auricula auricle n. + mūris , genitive of mūs mouse n. Compare Hellenistic Greek μυόσωτον dog's cabbage ( > classical Latin myosōton ; compare classical Latin auricula mūrīna ), lit. ‘mouse's ear’, and μυοσωτίς , μυὸς ὦτα (see myosotis n.).

In β. forms < the genitive of mouse n. + ear n.¹ Compare mouse-pea n.In most senses the name seems to refer to the shape and hairiness of the leaves of the plants.
