Etymology 1
Probably related to Old Dutch *mocha (“piece, lump”), from Proto-Germanic *mukkan- (“bump, lump”), perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *muk- (“heap”), similar to Ancient Greek μύκων (múkōn, “pile”). Compare Old English mūga, Old Norse múgr (“mass, heap (of corn)”).[1][2]
Etymology 2
17th century, alternative form of muik, from Middle Dutch muyck, from Proto-West Germanic *mūk-, *mukk-, perhaps from Proto-Germanic *mūkaz, from Proto-Indo-European *mewg- (“slimy, slippery”).[3][4] Cognate with German Mauke, which see.
