A large deer native to northern forests of North America and Eurasia, with long legs, a humped shoulder, and in males large flat antlers.
Where the word comes from
The word "moose" comes from Algonquian languages of northeastern North America, particularly from words like Narragansett *mos* and Ojibwe *mooz*. These indigenous terms referred to the large deer native to that region.
