We will find it in 'mousike', an Ancient Greek adjective related to nine female figures who according to myth each guided the efforts of painters, dancers, actors and players of instruments. These women were referred to as 'Muses'.

The word "music" came from Greek for "the art of the Muses". The Muses are sister goddesses of the arts in Greek mythology. Then the word for "of the Muses" went into Latin, Middle English, and then ended up in the modern English word "music".
