Adverb

edit

mos

  1. as you already know (see usage notes)
Usage notes
edit

When used as an adverb, mos is used when what is being said is already known (or was known, but perhaps now forgotten) by the listener. For example, if Person A asks Person B, "gaan jy vandag inkopies doen?" (are you going to go shopping today?) and Person B replies, "ja, ek doen mos elke Maandag inkopies" (yes, I go shopping every Monday), then this implies that Person A should already know (or did know at some point, and perhaps forgot) that Person B goes shopping every Monday. If the fact that Person B goes shopping on Mondays was new to Person A, then Person B would reply without using "mos". It is thus also used when making a statement that, while possibly obvious to the listener, is intended to provide context for a following statement.

Noun

  1. meat

Latin

edit

Etymology

edit

From Proto-Italic *mōs, root noun interpreted as s-stem noun of uncertain origin. Generally believed to derive from Proto-Indo-European *moh₁-, *meh₁- (“to intend/to be intent upon, to be of strong will”),[1] whence Ancient Greek μαίομαι (maíomai, “to strive”) and perhaps Ancient Greek Μοῦσᾰ (Moûsa, “Muse”), and also English mood.

It has also been conjectured that some senses of mōs, such as those having to do with "manner" and "way", may indicate a possible derivation from Proto-Indo-European *med- (“to measure”), compare and contrast modus; if that is true, it would seem to suggest an example of combined etymology or etymologic conflation.

Propius vero Tiberium ac Liviam, illum metu, hanc novercalibus odiis, suspecti et invisi iuvenis caedem festinavisse. Nuntianti centurioni, ut mos militiae, factum esse quod imperasset, neque imperasse sese et rationem facti reddendam apud senatum respondit.
      It was beyond question that by his frequent and bitter strictures on the youth’s character Augustus had procured the senatorial decree for his exile: on the other hand, at no time did he harden his heart to the killing of a relative, and it remained incredible that he should have sacrificed the life of a grandchild in order to diminish the anxieties of a stepson. More probably, Tiberius and Livia, actuated in the one case by fear, and in the other by stepmotherly dislike, hurriedly procured the murder of a youth whom they suspected and detested. To the centurion who brought the usual military report, that his instructions had been carried out, the emperor rejoined that he had given no instructions and the deed would have to be accounted for in the senate.

      I was strolling by chance along the Sacred Way, a musing after my fashion (literally, as is my custom) on some trifle or other, and wholly intent thereon...
  6. (transf.) precept, law, rule
  7. (plural only) morals, principles
    • 63 BCE, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Oratio in Catilinam Prima :
      O tempora, o mores! Senatus haec intellegit, consul videt; hic tamen vivit. Vivit?
