Etymology

From earlier *mosęgъ, derived from Proto-West Germanic *massing, from Latin massa (mass, bulk (of material)) (compare Middle English masse (chunk; mass of minerals, ingot)), from Ancient Greek μᾶζᾰ (mâza, lump, mass).

Less likely Germanic term derives from Μοσσῡ́νοικοι (Mossū́noikoi, Mossynoeci).

The technical word for brass in South Slavic languages (e.g. Serbo-Croatian мѐсинг / mèsing) is a later borrowing German Messing.
