Etymology
The term 'mouse' for the computer device was coined in the 1960s. It comes from the small, rodent-like appearance of early devices, which had a cord resembling a tail. As technology progressed, the term also evolved to describe the actions associated with the use of the mouse, particularly 'mousing', which implies clicking and navigating on a computer interface. The word 'moused' as a verb reflects the past actions completed using the mouse device. The use of 'mouse' as a verb gained traction in the digital age as personal computing became more common, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s.
