Etymology

Inherited from Middle French homme, from Old French home, hom, hume, homme, etc, from Latin hominem (with the loss of the -in- syllable, via syncope and then assimilation of -mn- to -mm-), from Old Latin hemō, from Proto-Italic *hemō, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰmṓ (“earthling”). Compare Catalan home, Italian uomo, Portuguese homem, Romanian om, Sardinian òmine, Neapolitan ommo, Spanish hombre. Also doublet of on, derived from the nominative of Latin homō. Further cognates in regional languages in France: Norman houme, Gallo honme, Picard onme, Bourguignon oume, Franco-Provençal homo, Occitan òme, Corsican omu.
