mostrer (modern Fr.
montrer), from L.
monstrare "to show," from
monstrum "omen, sign" (see monster). Noun meaning "act of gathering troops" is c.1400. To
pass musters (1575) originally meant "to undergo military review without censure." To
muster out "gather to be discharged from military service" is 1834, Amer.Eng. To
muster up in the fig. and transf. sense of "gather, summon, marshal" is from 1628.
2. From Middle English musteren, borrowed from Anglo-Norman mostrer, Middle French monstrer, moustrer (whence the noun monstre, which gave the English noun), from Latin mōnstrō (“to show”), from moneō (“to admonish”). Cognate with French montrer (“to show”), Italian mostrare (“to show”), Spanish mostrar (“to show”). See also monster. See: Middle French '
