Definitions and meaning of muss

muss

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /mʌs/
  • Rhymes: -ʌs

Etymology 1

Related to mess (“disorder”).

Verb

muss (third-person singular simple present musses, present participle mussing, simple past and past participle mussed)

  1. (transitive) To rumple, tousle or make (something) untidy.
    The old man affectionately mussed his grandson's hair.
Usage notes
  1. In typical usage, the direct object of this verb is almost always the hair on an individual's head, especially but not exclusively the shorter hair of a man or boy. Less frequently, it can refer to other intimate appurtenances such as clothing, bedding, mascara or other makeup on an individual's face, or a collection of belongings that previously had been deliberately arranged or put in order. In these cases, the phrasal verb construction muss up is often used instead of muss. In most other contexts, mess (or mess up) would be more idiomatic.
