The word signifies a hidden thing; it comes of Muin, which is to shut or stop the mouth from divulging. As they had their Mysteries among the Heathen, in their Temples, which they must not discover: therefore there was an Image before the Temple with his finger before his mouth, showing that they must be silent in the discovery of hidden Mysteries.
