來自拉丁語movere,移動，運(yùn)動，詞源同move,-t,過去分詞后綴。后引申詞義軍事嘩變，反叛，嘩變，暴亂等，特指士兵或船員的暴亂。詞義可能受拉丁語mutare的影響，即使改變，要求改變。

mutiny

mutiny: [16] Etymologically, a mutiny is simply a ‘movement’. The word was adapted from the now obsolete mutine, a borrowing from French mutin ‘rebellion’. This in turn was a derivative of an earlier muete, literally ‘movement’, hence ‘rebellion’ (remembered in English in the related émeute ‘uprising’), which came from Vulgar Latin *movita, a descendant of Latin movēre ‘move’ (source of English move).
=> émeute, motion, move
