A moustache (UK: , American English: mustache, ) is a strip of facial hair grown above the upper lip. Moustaches have been worn in various styles throughout history. Etymology The word 'moustache' is French, and is derived from the Italian moustacio (14th century), dialectal mostaccio (16th century), from Medieval Latin moustaccium (eighth century), Medieval Greek (moustakion), attested in the ninth century, which ultimately originates as a diminutive of Hellenistic Greek (mustax, mustak-), meaning 'upper lip' or 'facial hair', probably derived from Hellenistic Greek (mullon), 'lip'. An individual wearing a moustache is said to be 'moustached' or 'moustachioed' (the latter often referring to a particularly large or bushy moustache). Research done on this subject has noticed that the prevalence of moustaches and facial hair in general rise and fall according to the saturation of the marriage market. Thus, the density and thickness of the moustache or beard may help to convey androgen levels or age. The earliest document of the usage of moustaches (without the beard) can be traced to Iron Age Celts. According to Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian:The Gauls are tall of body with rippling muscles and white of skin and their hair is blond, and not only naturally so for they also make it their practice by artificial means to increase the distinguishing colour which nature has given it. For they are always washing their hair in limewater and they pull it back from the forehead to the nape of the neck, with the result that their appearance is like that of Satyrs and Pans since the treatment of their hair makes it so heavy and coarse that it differs in no respect from the mane of horses. Some of them shave the beard but others let it grow a little, and the nobles shave their cheeks but they let the moustache grow until it covers the mouth. Moustaches would not go away during the Middle Ages.
