Etymology
1. Inherited from Old French mosse (“moss”), from Frankish *mosa (“moss”), from Proto-Germanic *musą (“moss”).
2. For the culinary sense one might suspect influence by Dutch moes, German Mus (both “mush, purée”). However, the metaphorical use of mousse for “foam” is older and the culinary sense can thence be derived without difficulty. See: Dutch Nouns '
moes', German Nouns '
Mus'.
