Etymology
Derives from Middle English mousere (“a hunter of mice”), equivalent to mouse plus -er (agent noun suffix) or plus -er (occupational suffix). The “moustache” sense appears to be an extended usage (that is, a cat’s whiskers, jocularly transferred to human beings), possibly influenced by moustache.
