Nguồn gốc từ

From Late Middle English misellen (to drizzle), cognate with miseln, musseln (to mizzle), miezelen. Of obscure origin, possibly a frequentative related to the base of mist; or, related to mes (urine), Middle Dutch mes, mis (urine), both from mehs, from Proto-Germanic *mihstuz, *mihstaz, *mihsk- (urine), from *mīganą (to urinate), from Proto-Indo-European *meiǵʰ-, *omeiǵʰ- (to urinate).
