References

Persian

Etymology

Inherited from Middle Persian 𐭬 𐭅 𐭆 (mwc /⁠mōz⁠/), from an earlier Middle Persian mōč⁠, from Sanskrit मोच (moca), derived from Dravidian (compare Tamil மோத்தை (mōttai, “banana flower”), from Malayo-Polynesian (see Dobel muɁu, Manggarai muku), from Trans-New Guinea (see Fataluku muɁu, Mosimo mugu) and lastly from Proto-Trans-New Guinea *mugu.

The Arsacid/Early Middle Persian consonant č⁠ when occurring after a vowel went through a lenition process resulting in z by the end of Sassanid time, because of this it is highly unlikely this word is a loanword from Arabic as what would be borrowed exactly. Although there might have been an influence in the pronunciation of aw instead of native ō.
