Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English mustard, from Old French moustarde (moutarde), from moust (must), from Latin mustum. Compare Muster, mosterd, Musterd, mustarður. Displaced senep, from senep, from sināpi. Sometimes mistakenly thought to come from mustum ardens, but such a Latin phrase is not attested, and it is well understood that that the final -ard is derived from Old French -arde. mostarda.
