Brit.

/ˈmʌʃə/,

/ˈmʊʃə/, U.S.

/ˈməʃə/,

/ˈmʊʃə/, Irish English

/ˈmʌʃə/,

/ˈmʊʃə/

Forms: 1700s– musha, 1900s– amossa, 1900s– maise, 1900s– mossa, 1900s– mostha, 1900s– amostha, 1900s– muise, 1900s– musah.

Origin: A borrowing from Irish. Etymons: Irish muise, mhuise.

Etymology: < Irish muise, interjection, probably an unlenited form representing an inferred nominative of mhuise (see wisha int.).Irish muise is purely an interjection, but it has been normalized as if it were a noun from the apparently grammatically marked mhuise , which derives from a vocative. The initial of the forms amossa, amostha is after the Irish vocative particle a. The Irish phrase más ea if that is so (earlier maiseadh) has also been suggested as the origin of muise, but does not fit as well phonologically.

Irish English.

Expressing surprise, disbelief, or angry renunciation: ‘Well!’, ‘Indeed!’.
