manesn.

Brit.

/ˈmeɪniːz/,

/ˈmɑːneɪz/, U.S.

/ˈmɑˌneɪz/,

/ˈmeɪˌniz/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mānēs.

Etymology: < classical Latin mānēs (plural), the spirits of the dead, frequently in phrase dī mānēs ; also used of mortal remains (see sense 2). Probably cognate with early Latin mānis , mānus good (see mane adv.); compare classical Latin immānis brutal, frightful, vast (see immane adj.). This association was made in antiquity, commenting on already obscure ancient poetry; the line di manes, manes sitis is recorded from an inscription. Compare Middle French manes (1488; French mânes).

1. With plural agreement. The deified souls of dead ancestors (as beneficent spirits, as opposed to larvae and lemures: see larva n., lemur n.); (also, sometimes with singular agreement) the spirit or shade of a dead person, considered as an object of homage or reverence or as demanding to be propitiated. Also figurative.
