moustache
A moustache (; , )〔''moustache'' is almost universal in British English while ''mustache'' predominates in American English, although the third edition of Webster (1961), which gives ''moustache'' as the principal headword spelling. Later editions of ''Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary'' (from the 1973 eighth edition) give ''mustache''.〕 is a facial hair grown on the upper lip. Moustaches can be groomed by trimming and styling with a type of pomade called moustache wax.
== Etymology ==
The word "moustache" is French, and is derived from the Italian ''moustacio'' (fourteenth century), dialectal ''mostaccio'' (16th century), from Medieval Latin ''moustaccium'' (eighth century), Medieval Greek μοστάκιον (''moustakion''), attested in the ninth century, which ultimately originates as a diminutive of Hellenistic Greek μύσταξ (''mustax'', ''mustak-''), meaning "upper lip" or "facial hair",〔(μύσταξ ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 probably derived from Hellenistic Greek μύλλον (''mullon''), "lip".〔(μύλλον ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕〔OED s.v. "moustache", "mustachio"; (Encyclopædia Britannica Online – Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary )〕
