Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the French imperative verb 'marche' (meaning 'walk' or 'go'), which was used by early French-Canadian fur traders and voyageurs to urge on their dogs. This was anglicized and phonetically altered to 'mush' in the 19th century during the northern gold rushes, eventually yielding 'musher' for someone who drives a dog sled.
