Word origin
The word 'muzzle' originated from the Middle English 'musel', which meant a covering for the mouth of an animal. It can be traced back to the Old French 'musel' and the Late Latin 'musellum'. The concept of muzzling animals for safety and control has been present for centuries, evolving from simple leather straps to more modern materials and designs.
