muy

/mʊi/ adv

obsolete spelling of mui

Word Origin Muy, the Spanish word for 'very', comes straight from Latin 'multum' 'much, greatly'. It's a great example of how Latin 'multum' evolved into Spanish 'muy', while English kept the 'multi-' prefix in words like multiple, multiply, and multitude. The PIE root *melh₂- also gives us 'more' and 'most'.
