Explanation

Mosaic comes from Latin 'musaeum' (museum, place of the Muses), referring to the artistic nature of mosaic work dedicated to the Muses. Though mosaics exist in Greek tradition, the word itself is Latin-derived. Greek 'muse' is related but not the direct origin, while English 'most' and German 'much' are completely unrelated etymologically.
