From an Arabic word 'Mawsim' meaning 'appropriate season' This refers to a seasonal time of year when weather conditions made it possible for the faithfull to go on pilgrimage. Pilgrimages were not undertaken in the rainy season. The Dutch adopted the word as 'Monssoen' and the Portuguese as 'Moncao'
