Etymology
The term 'mew' originates from the Old English word 'mลซgan', which meant to bleat or make a sound. This word has Germanic roots and is associated with the sounds made by small animals, particularly feline species. The evolution of the word into its current form 'mew' reflects how language adapts to describe specific actions and sounds of animals. Over the years, 'mew' has become a staple in descriptive animal sound language, particularly in relation to cats. The rise of domesticated cats in human society has further cemented the term, linking it closely with the emotional and communicative ways cats interact with their owners.
