Etymology

Borrowed from Aramaic מַיְשָׁא / ܡܰܝܫܳܐ (mayšā, nettle tree), from Akkadian 𒄑𒈩 (mēsum), from Sumerian 𒄑𒈩 (g̃ešmes /⁠mes⁠/), apparently also the nettle tree, contrasted with 𒄑𒈩𒈣𒃶𒈾 (musukkannum, literally mes from Makan), a tree from the East used for wood, apparently sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo). In Hebrew, the former is found as מַיִשׁ (mayiš, nettle tree), the later as מְסֻכָּן (məsukkān).
