Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mouse n., pease n.
Etymology: < mouse n. (or occasionally its plural mice ) + pease n.; in later use in α. forms the second element was probably apprehended as plural (see discussion s.v. pea n.2). In β. forms a re-formation < mouse n. + pea n.2 In γ. forms < the genitive of mouse n. + the plural of pea n.2; compare the parallel formation represented by Scots mousie's pea (compare -y suffix6).
Now Scottish and English regional (northern).
Any of various kinds of wild vetch, esp. bitter vetch, Lathyrus linifolius, and tufted vetch, Vicia cracca. Also: the fruit of such a vetch (in quot. 1923, of the broom, Cytisus scoparius).
