Mus-ic

Now, I'm no expert etymologist, the word "music" seems to have, like most, non-slang words, have a longer history than what existed in English. For example, the prefix "Mus-" seems to be derived from the word "Muse," the name for the Goddesses of Inspiration in Greek mythology. And the "-ic," well, I'm not sure about that one, but upon looking it up, realize that it means "of or pertaining to" (Wiktionary.org), and thus, "Music" means "of or pertaining to inspiration." Interesting.
