Etymology: [ &-'myüz ] (verb.) 15th century. From Middle English amusen (“to mutter, be astonished, gaze meditatively on”) from Middle French amuser (“to amuse, divert, babble”) from Old French amuser (“to stupefy, waste time, be lost in thought”) from a- + muser (“to stare stupidly at, gape, wander, waste time, loiter, think carefully about, attend to”), of uncertain and obscure origin. Cognate with Occitan musa (“idle waiting”), Italian musare (“to gape idly about”). Possibly from Old French *mus (“snout”) from Proto-Romance *mūsa (“snout”) (—compare Medieval Latin mūsum (“muzzle, snout”)), of Germanic origin, from Proto-Germanic base *mū- (“muzzle, snout”) from Proto-Indo-European *mū- (“lips, muzzle”). Compare German Maul (“muzzle, snout”). Alternative etymology connects Old French muser and Occitan musa with Old High German muoza (“careful attention, leisure, idleness”) from Proto-Germanic *mōtōn (“leave, permission”) from Proto-Indo-European *med- (“to acquire, possess, control”). Compare also Old High German muozōn (“to be idle, have leisure or opportunity”), German Muße (“leisure”). More at empty.
