Etymology

The word 'mush' originated from the Middle English word 'musshe,' which means a soft, wet mass. It has been used in English since the 14th century. Originally, 'mush' referred to a soft, pulpy substance, especially food. Over time, it also gained the informal verb usage of reducing a substance to a soft mass. The word has evolved in meaning but has always been associated with soft, wet textures.
