cajunkittie Posted March 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I realize that I may be showing my lack of education here. But, where does the word "muster" come from. I know it is the exacuation point for you on a ship. But where does the word come from? Any mariners out there who care to give a brief leeson?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsp Posted March 25, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2006 muster • verb 1 bring (troops) together, especially for inspection or in preparation for battle. 2 (of people) gather together. 3 summon up (a feeling or attitude). 4 Austral./NZ round up (livestock). I cheated, looked it up on oxford.com or something like that. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentJoey Posted March 25, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2006 You have probably heard the term "muster up the kids" or "muster your group" or "muster your troops" is a military term, just means to gather together It is a most boring part of a cruise experience but also one of the most important as passengers on a particular ship this past week will surely agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
