Etymology

  • Disputed. De Vaan and Rix both suggest that the term derives from *m̥néh₁yeti, which was itself possibly formed from Proto-Indo-European *men- (to stay) + *-éh₁yeti.[1] However, Schrijver notes that the expected form from *m̥néh₁yeti would be *menēō, not *monēō. According to Schrijver, the term may have borrowed the /o/ from an otherwise poorly attested Proto-Indo-European perfect form *memon-. Alternatively, Sihler argues that the older pre-form may have been *menēō, which—according to Sihler—may have developed into maneō due to the influence of terms such as habeō.[2][3]

    Reconstruction notes

    De Vaan argues that the original perfect passive participle was probably *mantos, whence perhaps Latin mānsus and mantō.
