Mus is a Spanish card game, widely played in Spain and Hispanic America, and to a lesser extent in France. Most probably originated in the Basque Country,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.nabasque.org/NABO/mus.htm )〕 it is a vying game. The first reference about this game goes back to 1745, when Manuel Larramendi, philologist and Jesuit Basque, quoted it the trilingual dictionary (Basque-Spanish-Latin).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ludoteka.com/mus4-en.html )〕 In Spain it is the most played card game, spawning several Mus clubs or "''peñas''" and becoming a staple game among college students. It is not uncommon to hear the Basque terms, such as "''órdago''" (from Basque "''hor dago''", "there it is"〔(Real Academia de la Lengua Española )〕) used by Spanish speakers, often without them being aware of the literal meanings of the terms and phrases. The origin of the word Mus is uncertain. It could come from the Basque language, where "''musu''" means "''kiss''", the established signal of the better possible card combination (3 Kings and one Ace).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.casino.es/mus/historia-mus/ )〕 Larramendi wrote about the word mus or "musu" meaning lips or face and suggests that the name of the game could have derived from the facial gestures used while playing.〔 Following another theory, the word ''mus'' comes from the Latin "''musso''", that means "''keep silent''". It is conjugated as "''mus''" ("I keep silent"), in opposition to "talk", that is the word used to open the game.〔 According to a third hypothesis the word could come from the French word "''mouche''" ("''fly''"),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Diccionario de la lengua española )〕 from Latin ''mussula'',〔''Larousse Dictionnaire d' Étymologie'' Larousse:2001〕 although the concept "fly" has no relation with any part of the game.〔 ==History== Basque emigrants carried the game to other countries such as the USA and Australia, where it is played in Basque clubs.〔(North American Basque Organization )〕 Nowadays there is an international Mus tournament, in addition to many national and regional competitions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mus (card game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
