むし
Hyōgaiji
kun’yomi

From Old Japanese. Possibly the original name for the plant, or for the fiber from this plant. Possibly also cognate with Ainu モセ (mose), ムセ (muse, “nettle plant; bast fiber in general”)

苧 (hiragana むし, rōmaji mushi)

  1. (obsolete) old name for karamushi: the ramie plant, Boehmeria nivea var. nipononivea

Etymology 3

Kanji in this term
苧
からむし
Hyōgaiji
kun’yomi

Appears to be a compound of 殻 (kara, “husk”) +‎ 苧 (mushi, “ramie fiber”).

Some sources suggest that the mushi component derives from 蒸し (mushi, “steaming”), from verb 蒸す (musu, “to steam something; to be steamy or muggy”). However, ramie is not processed using steam, so these are more likely to be folk etymologies.
