Fun with the Word
Muster originally meaning "to gather soldiers". But it has been expanded to include gathering up—you can muster up some dinner, some friends, or even some ketchup, pickles and mustard. Muster used to involve getting reluctant soldiers out of bed and into the field of battle forcefully. When you muster up the courage to face something, it's clear that it is scary for you.
