词源

Borrowed from a merger of French mozzete (obsolete) (modern French mosette, mossette), and from its etymon Italian mozzetta; further etymology uncertain, possibly either:
* from Italian mozzo (“cut off; shortened”, adjective) (from Vulgar Latin *mutius, from Latin mutilus (“mutilated”); further etymology uncertain, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *mewt- (“cut short”)); or
* from Late Latin almucia (“hood or cape with a hood worn by clergy”) (further etymology unknown)
+ Italian -etta (feminine form of -etto (diminutive suffix)).
The plural form mozzette is borrowed from Italian mozzette. Doublet of mosette.
