Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish mano, from Latin manus, from Proto-Italic *manus, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *méh₂-r̥ ~ *mh₂-én-, derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)meh₂- (“to beckon”), or perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *mon-u- (see the Proto-Italic entry). Cognate with Galician man and Portuguese mão. Compare French main.
