/ˈmʌstæʃ//ˈmʌstæʃ/The word "moustache" has a fascinating origin. It comes from the French word "moustache," which is derived from the Old French "moustreche," meaning "upper lip." This term was used to describe the facial hair that grows on the upper lip. The French adopted the word from the Latin "mustacium," which referred to the upper lip or the hair that grows on it. The Latin term is thought to be derived from the Etruscan language, which was spoken in what is now Italy before the Roman Empire. The word "moustache" has been used in the English language since the 16th century and has evolved to refer specifically to the tuft of hair that grows on the upper lip, regardless of its length or style. Today, the word is used in many languages around the world to describe this distinctive facial feature.
