mustard en · ADJ

Pronunciation

  • [ˈmɐ̞s.təd] (Australia)
  • [ˈmʌs.təd] (Received-Pronunciation)
  • [ˈmʊs.təd] (Northern-England)
  • /ˈmʌstəɹd/
  • (US) audio
  • mŭsʹ-tərd
  • (UK) audio
  • [ˈmʌs.tɚd] (US)

Etymology

From Middle English mustard, from Old French moustarde (French moutarde), from moust (“must”), from Latin mustum. Compare Saterland Frisian Muster (“mustard”), Dutch mosterd (“mustard”), German Low German Musterd (“mustard”), Icelandic mustarður (“mustard”). Displaced Middle English senep, from Old English senep, from Latin sināpi (“mustard”). Sometimes mistakenly thought to come from Latin mustum ardens, but such a Latin phrase is not attested, and it is well understood that that the final -ard is derived from Old French -arde. Doublet of mostarda.

Meanings

    • Everything about her year-old restaurant, from the minimalist menu (about a dozen items) with refreshingly drivel-free descriptions to the decor (unadorned warm mustard walls, unclothed bistro tables), reflects her love of bringing people to the table for good, simple food that's not eclipsed by bells and whistles. 2007, Cincinnati Magazine, page 81:
  2. (not-comparable, slang) Very good, or very skilled.
    • My expectations of public services were nil, so any time within a month was fine by me. They did it in less than a week, which was mustard. 2005, Bernard Hare, Urban Grimshaw and the Shed Crew, London: Sceptre, →ISBN, page 168:
