The story behind Müge
From müge (“lily of the valley”), from French muguet (“lily of the valley”), diminutive form of Old French mugue or muguete (“musk”) (compare English nutmeg), from muscade, from Latin muscada, feminine of muscat (“musky”), from Ancient Greek μόσχος (móskhos), from Middle Persian *mušk (“musk”), ultimately from Sanskrit मुष्क (muṣka, “testicle”), the shape of the gland of animals secreting the substance being compared to human testicles, a diminutive of मूष् (mūṣ, “mouse”), the shape of human testicles being compared to mice, from Proto-Indo-European *muh₂s (“mouse”).
