Etymology of manner (English)

From Middle English manere, maner, [...] from Vulgar Latin *manāria, from feminine of Latin manuarius ("belonging to the hand"), from manus (hand)

Would you mind explaining what you mean by that? Am spupid and I domt undestandr.

On your first post, you implied that the word "manner" was derived from "man" and that one could change that part of the word with "woman".

I thought that it may not be true and looked for its etymology and, lo and behold, manner is actually derived from "manus" (hand).

I do not imply that your comment is wrong, I just wanted to shed some light on it.

That manners doesn't come from the word "man", it comes from the Latin for hand.

So instead of womaners, maybe podaners.

Hate it when this happens

It's always those "top hat and cane" guys you have to watch out for.

It must feel so strange to greet people by lifting your hat.
