語源

From 中期英語 musik, musike, borrowed from Anglo-Norman musik, musike, Old French musique, and their source Latin mūsica, from Ancient Greek μουσική (mousikḗ), from Ancient Greek Μοῦσα (Moûsa, “Muse”), an Ancient Greek deity of the arts. By surface analysis, muse +‎ -ic (“pertaining to”). In this sense, displaced native 古期英語 drēam (“music”), whence Modern English dream.
