Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen anglais: mone

Hérité de ancien anglais: *mān

Appartenant à Old Frisian: mēne

Appartenant à ancien haut allemand: meina

Appartenant à ancien anglais: mǣnan

In summary

From Middle English mone, mane, mān, (also as mene), from Old English *mān, *mǣn (“complaint; lamentation”), from Proto-West Germanic *mainu, from Proto-Germanic *mainō (“opinion; mind”).
Cognate with Old Frisian mēne (“opinion”), Old High German meina (“opinion”). Old English *mān, *mǣn is inferred from Old English mǣnan (“to complain over; grieve; mourn”). More at mean.
