Etymology
Mușcat is the past participle of the verb a mușca, meaning to bite. Romanian dictionaries trace a mușca to the Latin verb morsicare, a frequentative form of mordere, itself meaning to bite. The participle takes the standard Romanian suffix -at, the same ending seen on countless other first-conjugation past participles.
