It is from the Italian (as usual) "meno" = less, "mosso" = animated, so it means you have to play the indicated part less animated.

HMMMMM......I have always thought of "meno mosso" to be a tempo referrence. Now, if the litereal interpretation is, as stated above, less "animated", it would seem that is really a marking of expression, not merely tempo. What do the rest of you think about meno mosso-- Strictly tempo?? Less expression (calmer)?? Not quite dolce, but less agitato?? All of the above??

All of the above are correct per: my Music Dict. Piu mosso =more movement, quicker! Don

William,
All this is correct again, but strico sensu, meno mosso remains a tempo indication rather than expression. Slower as stated by Steve would probably be the nearest translation as being slower than previous indicated tempo.
Stephane.

Meno mosso = slower.
Piu mosso = faster.
There may be a change in mood, but that's not what the words mean.

It's typically a very noticeable change in speed. Not "Poco mosso", I should say.
