Nguồn gốc từ

The adjective is derived from Middle English moist, moiste, from moist, moiste, moste, Middle French moiste, and Old French moiste, muste (damp, moist, wet) (modern moite); further etymology uncertain, perhaps a blend of a - variant of Latin mūcidus (mouldy, musty) + a Late Latin derivative of Latin mustum (unfermented or partially fermented grape juice or wine, must).
