This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given an etymology in GPC. It starts with an "m" like English mushroom and Ancient Greek μῠ́κης (mŭ́kēs), maybe an old substrate word? One could potentially analyze this as Proto-Indo-European *meh₂d- (“to be wet”) + arch (“ark; to seek, ask for”) and thus take the term as "wet-seeker" or "wet ark". The former in particular seems semantically pleasing, but this could very well be tantamount to folk etymology.”
