Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *muːɡs, *mɯːɡ): phonetic 冃 (OC *muːɡs, “hat”) + semantic 目 (“eyes”). 冃 is the original form, 目 was added later. Original form of 帽 (OC *muːɡs, “hat”). See also 敖, 免, and 美. Original meaning was “to cover”. Sino-Tibetan. Schuessler (2007) connects it with Proto-Sino-Tibetan *muːŋ ~ r/s-muːk (“sky, clouds, fog, dark, covered”), whence Burmese မိုး (mui:, “sky; rain; to hold something over the head; roof”), Tibetan མུ (mu), དམུ (dmu), རྨུ (rmu), སྨུ (smu, “(archaic) sky”). Derivative: 帽 (OC *muːɡs, “hat”).
