Origins
By surface analysis, moechus + -issō. The term could indicate an otherwise unattested Ancient Greek verb *μοιχίζω (*moikhízō), itself from μοιχός (moikhós, “adulterer, paramour”). However, the term might also have been coined by Plautus artificially as a mockery of the speech of Greek slaves.
