Forms: Middle English muscilagiez (plural), Middle English muscillage, Middle English muscylage, Middle English mussillage, Middle English mustelage (transmission error), Middle English 1600s musselage, Middle English–1600s muscilage, 1500s mucculage, 1500s musceledge, 1500s muscellage, 1500s muslege, 1500s musselege, 1500s–1600s 1800s musilage, 1500s–1700s mucillage, 1600s mucilege, 1600s musilidge, 1600s muslidge, 1600s mussilage, 1600s– mucilage.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French mucilage.

Etymology: < Middle French mucilage viscid material found in certain plants (1314 in Old French as musillage ; also in forms muscillage , muscillagine (c1500)), viscid preparation used in medicine (1690), mucus (1810) < post-classical Latin mucilago viscous secretion, mucus (c400), viscid material in plants (?6th cent.) < classical Latin mūcus mucus n. + -ilāgō (in e.g. putrilāgō putrilage n.). Compare Italian mucillaggine, mucellaggine (14th cent.), Spanish mucilago (1706), Portuguese mucilagem (1783), German Muzilago (18th cent. as Mucilago).The spelling in -sc- is found also in the Latin form muscillago (from c1200 in British sources), and reflects the assibilation of -c- in French and English (see C n.). The Middle English form muscilagine is also occasionally attested, and is apparently < post-classical Latin muscilagin-, oblique stem of muscilago (see above):?c1425 tr. Guy de Chauliac Grande Chirurgie (Paris) (1971) 86 Lyn sede..be medled wiþ softe sope or wiþ þe muscylage, i. dissoluynge, of it [?a1425 N.Y. Acad. Med. muscilagine of sinapis; L. muscillagine sinapis].

a. In singular and †plural. A viscid preparation made from the seeds, roots, or other parts of certain plants by soaking or heating them in water, used medicinally in soothing poultices, tisanes, etc. Later also: a viscid aqueous solution of any of certain gums or starches.Frequently preceded by the name of the parent plant or substance, or (formerly) with of.starch mucilage: see starch n.
