Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Mu.

Etymology: < Mu, the name of a supposed island continent, apparently first used by the French ethnographer C. E. Brasseur de Bourbourg (1869 or earlier: see below) in his interpretation of writings in the Madrid Codex, a medieval manuscript written in Mayan pictographic script.Compare the following:1869 C. E. Brasseur de Bourbourg in Revue Ethnographique Janvier, Fevrier, & Mars 92 Mu étant le nom de la terre mère, de la terre molle, déterminée par la barre noire qui la surmonte avec un point et deux barres rouges, ce qui me paraît signifier une terre et un cône composés de deux couches diverses de produits volcaniques.

(The name given to) one of three supposed island continents, now sunken, from which (according to some esp. 19th-century commentators) civilization was believed to have sprung.As the quots. demonstrate, there is debate about Mu's supposed location. Some writers on the subject place Mu in the Pacific Ocean, with the two other supposed lost continents, Atlantis and Lemuria, being placed in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans respectively. Other writers identify Mu as a part of Lemuria, conceived as a transcontinental land mass.

U.S.A. 50 1043 This report describes a novel temperate bacteriophage, designated phage Mu1, that causes severe genetic modifications in its natural host, E. coli K12. 1969 A. M. Campbell Episomes v. 79 While some sites are preferred, insertion can happen almost anywhere, in or near almost any gene. An episome that resembles F in this respect is the ‘mutator phage’ mu. 1990 EMBO Jrnl. 9 4056/1 For two transposable elements, bacteriophage Mu and transposon Tn10, it has been shown in cell-free systems that the 3′ ends of the transposable element are joined to the 5′ target ends.
