From Middle English mese, mes, mees (“dinner, dish”), from Old English mēse, mēose, mīse, mȳse (“table; that which is set on a table; dish; food, meal”), a vernacular loan from Latin/Late Latin mē(n)sa (“table; meal”). Cognate with Scots mes, mese (“a serving of food”), Old High German mias, meas (German Mus, Gemüse), Gothic 𐌼𐌴𐍃 (mēs). Compare Old English mēsan (“to eat, dine”), from Proto-Germanic *mōsijaną, from Proto-Germanic *mōsą, an ablaut variant of the root Proto-Germanic *mat- (“food”).

mese (plural meses)

1. (musical pitch) In Ancient Greek musical theory, the highest-pitched fixed note in the nearer tetrachord on a lyre, always pitched a perfect fourth above the hypate, with two movable notes between them, the parhypate (lower in pitch) and the lichanos (higher in pitch). The mese was lower than the paramese (the lower-pitched fixed note in the farther tetrachord on a lyre) by a ratio of 8:9.

• The strings/pitches from lowest-pitched (nearest the player) to highest-pitched (farthest from the player) were the hypate, parhypate, lichanos, mese, paramese, trite, paranete and nete, grouped into two tetrachords, the nearer one stretching from hypate to mese and the farther one stretching from paramese to nete. The outer two notes in a tetrachord were fixed in pitch but the inner two notes could be tuned differently.
