mušti

Etymology
Of unclear origin.

Within Balto-Slavic, a connection can be drawn with 🇨🇬 (compare ), 🇨🇬, and perhaps 🇨🇬 < *moux-. These forms point to -s- and a root of ; compare 🇨🇬.

Another theory, espoused by Beekes, suggests that the root is ; compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, and perhaps 🇨🇬. However, neither the semantic nor formal arguments make a convincing case for the Lithuanian term to belong here.
