∙ 12y agoMoose is one of many loan-words taken into English fromnative American languages. In this case it comes directly from the various Algonquian names:
Narragansett: moos (he eats off, strips, cuts smooth)
Abenaki: mus (same meaning)
Penobscot: muns (same meaning)
Pequot: muswa (same meaning)
The same words have also been very loosely translated as "twig-eater".
All of these refer to the stripping of leaves, twigs and bark from trees by moose, who do not have any teeth in the front upper jaw but still manage to rip through swathes of vegetation using their thick, tough tongue and lips. Plant material is then chewed between 12 sets of flat teeth in the rear of the mouth.
