Etymology
1. "a buffoon who practices gesticulations" [Johnson], 1603, from Fr. mime, from L. mimus, from Gk. mimos "imitator, actor, buffoon," of unknown origin. The verb meaning "to act without words" is from 1616; the transf. sense of "to imitate" is from 1733 (Gk. mimeisthai meant "to imitate").
2. Possibly from Middle English *mime, from Old English mīma (“a buffoon, jester, mime”), from Latin mimus, from Ancient Greek μῖμος (mîmos, “imitator, actor”), but more likely re-borrowed in modern times from French mime (“mimic actor”), from the same source.
