Adverb

mos

  1. as you already know (see usage notes)
Usage notes

When used as an adverb, mos is used when what is being said is already known (or was known, but perhaps now forgotten) by the listener. For example, if Person A asks Person B, "gaan jy vandag inkopies doen?" (are you going to go shopping today?) and Person B replies, "ja, ek doen mos elke Maandag inkopies" (yes, I go shopping every Monday), then this implies that Person A should already know (or did know at some point, and perhaps forgot) that Person B goes shopping every Monday. If the fact that Person B goes shopping on Mondays was new to Person A, then Person B would reply without using "mos". It is thus also used when making a statement that, while possibly obvious to the listener, is intended to provide context for a following statement.

    Etymology

    From Sanskrit मांस (māṃsa), Proto-Indo-Iranian *māmsám, from Proto-Indo-European *mḗms.

    Noun

    mos

    1. meat

    Latin

    Etymology

    From Proto-Italic *mōs, a root noun interpreted as an s-stem noun, of uncertain origin. Generally believed to derive from Proto-Indo-European *moh₁-, *meh₁- (to intend or be intent upon, to be of strong will) (though the more common meaning of to measure may be the original, with to intend as a semantic extension),[1] whence Ancient Greek μαίομαι (maíomai, to strive) and perhaps Ancient Greek Μοῦσᾰ (Moûsă, Muse), and also English mood.

    It has also been conjectured that some senses of mōs, such as those having to do with manner and way, may indicate a possible derivation from Proto-Indo-European *med- (to measure), compare and contrast modus; if that is true, it would seem to suggest an example of combined etymology or conflation. If two such roots *med- and *meh₁- existed, both meaning to measure, it is plausible that the latter was derived from the former via early PIE glottalic *d ~ *h₁ alternation, seen for example in the pair *dwi- : *h₁wi- (in two; apart) and possibly in other roots such as *wed- : *weh₁- (to wet; water); *h₂ed- : *h₂eh₁- (to dry (by fire)).

Propius vero Tiberium ac Liviam, illum metu, hanc novercalibus odiis, suspecti et invisi iuvenis caedem festinavisse. Nuntianti centurioni, ut mos militiae, factum esse quod imperasset, neque imperasse sese et rationem facti reddendam apud senatum respondit.
        It was beyond question that by his frequent and bitter strictures on the youth’s character Augustus had procured the senatorial decree for his exile: on the other hand, at no time did he harden his heart to the killing of a relative, and it remained incredible that he should have sacrificed the life of a grandchild in order to diminish the anxieties of a stepson. More probably, Tiberius and Livia, actuated in the one case by fear, and in the other by stepmotherly dislike, hurriedly procured the murder of a youth whom they suspected and detested. To the centurion who brought the usual military report, that his instructions had been carried out, the emperor rejoined that he had given no instructions and the deed would have to be accounted for in the senate.
