Musician

The word 'musician' can be traced back to the Latin term 'musicus', which meant 'one skilled in music'. Early English usage of the term indicated one who composes, plays, or sings music and the term has been used in this way since at least the 16th century. The term is derived from the Greek terms 'mousike' and 'mousikos', which both refer to the same set of activities. The original Greek term appears to have been derived from the verb 'mousa', which was related to 'mouse' as in 'mouse hole' or 'mouse eyes', and which probably indicated the link between music and the small creatures. In modern English usage, the word 'musician' is used to refer to an individual who plays an instrument, composes, or sings - thus encompassing a wide range of activities, including performances and rehearsals. Morphologically, the word is related to 'music' and 'amusement', which are also related to the activity of making music. Pragmatically, the term is used in contexts to indicate expertise in or proficiency at playing or composing music, or to refer to a particular type of music or one of its genres.
