Etymology
Traditionally derived from मूष् (mūṣ, “mouse”) + -क (-ka, diminutive suffix), the shape of human testicles being compared to mice.[1][2] However, Lubotsky is skeptical of this derivation due to the short u vowel in मुष्क implying the lack of a laryngeal, as opposed to the long ū in मूष्.[3]
