词源

词源 1
Borrowed from Japanese 蓑 (mino).
词源 2
Presumably originally a hypercorrection of myna under the assumption that it had been subjected to the reduction of unstressed final /əʊ///oʊ/ common in nonstandard English varieties (compare fella, winda; in thorough and (-)borough such reduction is standard as these words are often unstressed).
