Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Arabic. Apparently also partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Arabic mu'aḏḏin; French maizin, muezim, muezin.
Etymology: < Arabic mu'aḏḏin, active participle of aḏḏana to call to prayer, proclaim the call to prayer < the same base as aḏān call to prayer (see note). The α. forms arise from the widespread regional pronunciation with /z/ or /dz/ for (pronounced /ð/ in classical Arabic and modern standard Arabic); compare Turkish müezzin , Persian and Urdu mu'aẕẕin . Some of the β. forms reflect regional pronunciation of as /d/. In α. forms apparently frequently via French: compare Middle French maizin (1568; 1576 in the passage translated in quot. 1585 at sense 1α. ), French †muessin (1605), †muezim, †muezin (1654), †muézin (1765), †muezzinn (1788), muezzin (1805). With β. forms compare French †moudin (1611).The aḏān is proclaimed at the times of the five daily ritual prayers and at noon on Fridays for the congregational ritual prayers.
1. Islam. A public crier who proclaims the regular hours of ritual prayer from the minaret or the roof of a mosque.
