Where this word comes from

Probably derived from mucio, a form used in southern italian dialects, from Latin mūsiō (“cat”). Isidore of Seville quotes mūsiō as the correct form and cattus as the popular (vulgar) form in his Etymologiæ. The standard pronunciation is due to spelling, while central dialects preserve the etymological one. False cognate of Albanian micë (“cat”).
