Etymology

From {{bor, en, es, místico}}. Compare {{cog, ca, místic}}, {{cog, fr, mistique}}, {{cog, it, mistico}}, and {{cog, ota, مستقو, tr=mistiko}}. These all refer to sailing ships of the Mediterranean, but not necessarily to the same kind of ship. The number of masts is variously two or three and the sails are lateen or square. The New English Dictionary{{R:Oxford English Dictionary, volume=VI, part=2, page=538, column=3}} traces the origin to an Arabic word misṭeḥ "flat surface" (compare مُسَطَّح) but Kahane et al.{{R:tr:LF}} disagree.
