manen.1

Brit. /meɪn/, U.S. /meɪn/
Forms: Old English manu, Middle English–1500s maane, Middle English–1600s mayn, Middle English– mane, 1500s–1600s maine, 1500s–1600s mayne, 1600s maune, 1600s–1700s main, 1700s mein (North American); Scottish pre-1700 main, pre-1700 maine, pre-1700 man, pre-1700 mayn, pre-1700 mayne, pre-1700 mean, pre-1700 meane, pre-1700 mene, pre-1700 mone, pre-1700 1700s– mane.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian mana , mona , Middle Dutch māne (chiefly in plural mānen ; Dutch mane , chiefly in plural manen ), Old High German mana (Middle High German and early modern German mane , man , German Mōn in the regional usage of the Wetterau; standard German Mähne is < Middle High German mene , plural), Old Icelandic mǫn (genitive manar ), Swedish man , Danish man : all have the same sense and most, like the Old English word, are feminine. Ultimately < an Indo-European base with the sense ‘(nape of the) neck’, realized in e.g. Welsh mŵn neck, Early Irish muin neck, upper back; semantically closest are reflexes of forms with an extension in -k- , e.g. Welsh mwng mane, Early Irish mong mane, with which compare Icelandic makki the upper part of a horse's neck, Danish manke mane (formerly, and in technical use, withers), Swedish manke withers. A variety of other extensions underlie Old English mene (masculine), Old Saxon halsmeni necklace, collar, Old High German menni , meinni ornament for the neck; classical Latin monīle necklace (compare Monilia n.); Old Church Slavonic monisto necklace; Hellenistic Greek μανιάκης a golden collar worn by Persians and Gauls; Armenian maneak necklace; Avestan manaoθrī neck; Sanskrit maṇi necklace, pearl, jewel (see mani n.2), manyā nape of the neck.Welsh mynydd mountain represents a secondary formation from the same base, which many commentators connect with an Indo-European base expressing the concept of projection: see the note s.v. prominent adj.

Latin magnus began to be gradually replaced by grandis (see grand adj., n., and adv.) from the 1st cent. b.c. onwards, a process which continued into the Romance languages; for discussion of regional survivals and learned reformations see Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch at magnus.
