Word origin

The word 'Musa' has its origins in Latin, where it referred to the genus of plants that includes bananas and plantains. The name was derived from the Arabic word 'mauz', which means 'banana'. The use of 'Musa' to describe the musical instrument in the percussion family is more recent, likely influenced by the botanical genus. The term has since been adopted in the realm of music to refer to this specific instrument.
