In plain English: A moose is a very large animal with big antlers that lives in forests and near water.
"We spotted a large moose standing near the lake while we were hiking in the forest."
Usage: Use "moose" to refer specifically to the North American animal with large, flat antlers; avoid using it for European elk or any other deer species. Do not confuse this term with similar-sounding words like "muse," which refers to an artist's source of inspiration.
The word "moose" comes from an Eastern Algonquian language name for the animal. It originally referred to the creature's habit of stripping tree bark when it feeds.
