Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Partly directly < the Germanic base of Middle Dutch mande, manne (Dutch mand), Middle Low German mande, early modern German mand, manne (German (archaic) Mande), further etymology uncertain; and partly (in later use) via (or remodelled after) Anglo-Norman and Middle French mande (early 13th cent. in Old French (Flanders and Picardy); French regional (chiefly northern and Walloon) mande) and Middle French, French manne (1467), both < Middle Dutch.The form mand in current regional English may represent either the reflex of the Old English word or the later borrowing < Middle French, but as this form is not attested between the Old English period and the end of the 15th cent., the latter explanation is perhaps more likely. Compare also post-classical Latin manda, maunda (1382 and 1533 in British sources).

Now chiefly British regional.

a. A basket made of wicker or other woven material, or (occasionally) of wooden slats, with a handle or handles. Also maund basket.In various districts applied spec. to particular kinds of baskets.

/mɑn(d)/

Forms: 1500s mana, 1500s mao, 1600s mahan, 1600s maon, 1600s maune, 1600s mawn, 1600s mawnd, 1600s mein, 1600s– man, 1600s– maund, 1700s maun.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Arabic. Partly a borrowing from Urdu. Partly a borrowing from Persian. Etymons: Arabic mann; Urdu man; Persian man.

Etymology: Ultimately < Arabic mann, related to Hebrew māneh maneh n. and the Semitic source of ancient Greek μνᾶ mna n., classical Latin mina mina n.; partly via Urdu man (also in other Southern Asian languages) and its etymon Persian man. The vowel of the English form maund may indicate adoption via Portuguese mão (1513; probably assimilated to Portuguese mão hand: compare quot. 1598 at sense 1); the final -d is probably after maund n.¹ (assisted by the fact that both words denote large units in which loads are measured).

1. In south and west Asia: a unit of weight, varying greatly in value according to locality.In much of India a maund is equal to 100 lb troy (82²/ ₇ lb avoirdupois, or approx. 37.3 kg), a standard adopted under British rule: see also quot. 1906.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Arabic. Partly a borrowing from Urdu. Partly a borrowing from Persian. Etymons: Arabic mann; Urdu man; Persian man. Etymology: Ultimately < Arabic mann, related to Hebrew māneh maneh n. and the Semitic source of ancient Greek μνᾶ mna n., classical Latin mina mina n.; partly via Urdu man (also in other Southern Asian languages) and its etymon Persian man. The vowel of the English form maund may indicate adoption via Portuguese mão (1513; probably assimilated to Portuguese mão hand: compare quot. 1598 at sense 1); the final -d is probably after maund n.¹ (assisted by the fact that both words denote large units in which loads are measured). 1. In south and west Asia: a unit of weight, varying greatly in value according to locality.In much of India a maund is equal to 100 lb troy (82²/ ₇ lb avoirdupois, or approx. 37.3 kg), a standard adopted under British rule: see also quot. 1906.
