Etymology
The word "Moslem" is derived from the Arabic "Muslim", which means "one who submits (to God)". The term is an adjective derived from the Arabic verb "aslama", which means "to surrender" or "to submit".
Meaning
Moslem, also spelled Muslim, refers to someone who follows Islam, the monotheistic religion founded by the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe in the oneness of God (Allah) and the teachings of Muhammad as the last prophet.
Origin
The term "Moslem" was originally used in the context of the Arabic language to describe the followers of Islam. It was introduced to English through French in the 17th century and became widely used as a synonym for "Muslim".
Usage
The term "Moslem" is still used in some contexts, but it is generally considered outdated and less precise than the term "Muslim". The latter is preferred by most Muslims and is more accurately descriptive of their faith.
