Noun

IPA: /mɑnː/ Forms: mannen [definite, singular], menn [indefinite, plural], mennene [definite, plural]
Rhymes: -ɑnː Etymology: From Danish mand (pre-1907 Riksmål spelling), from Old Norse mann, accusative case of maðr (“man”) (compare the accusative of Icelandic maður). Originally the word only had the sense "human" but later changed to primarily designate an adult male, the original meaning being replaced by words such as menneske and person. Believed to ultimately be from Proto-Germanic *mann-, stemming from the Proto-Indo-European *man- (a root). Cognate with Swedish man, Danish mand, Faroese and Icelandic maður, English man and many others.

  "etymology_text": "From Danish mand (pre-1907 Riksmål spelling), from Old Norse mann, accusative case of maðr (“man”) (compare the accusative of Icelandic maður). Originally the word only had the sense \"human\" but later changed to primarily designate an adult male, the original meaning being replaced by words such as menneske and person. Believed to ultimately be from Proto-Germanic *mann-, stemming from the Proto-Indo-European *man- (a root). Cognate with Swedish man, Danish mand, Faroese and Icelandic maður, English man and many others.",
