====Adverb====

# ''as you already know'' (see usage notes)

=====Usage notes=====
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.

# [[meat]]

==Latin==

===Etymology===
From {{inh|la|itc-pro|*mōs}}, root noun interpreted as ''s''-stem noun of {{unc|la|nocap=1}} origin. Generally believed to derive from {{der|la|ine-pro|*moh₁-}}, {{m|ine-pro|*meh₁-||to intend/to be intent upon, to be of strong will}},<ref>{{R:itc:EDL|page=390}}</ref> whence {{cog|grc|μαίομαι||to strive}} and perhaps {{cog|grc|Μοῦσᾰ||Muse}}, and also {{cog|en|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 {{der|la|ine-pro|*med-||to measure}}, compare and contrast {{m|la|modus}}; if that is true, it would seem to suggest an example of combined etymology or etymologic conflation.
