Etymology

The word 'musky' originated from the late 17th century, derived from the word 'musk,' which refers to a substance with a strong, persistent odor obtained from a gland of the male musk deer. Over time, 'musky' evolved to describe scents, tastes, and even textures that resemble or are reminiscent of musk. The use of 'musky' expanded beyond its original association with the musk deer to encompass a broader range of olfactory and gustatory experiences.
