Etymology

From Middle Dutch verminken, a dialectal variant of vermenken (“to injure permanently”), from ver- + menken (variant minken), from the root manc (“a limping or lame person”) (cf. Dutch mank), from Latin mancus (“maimed or defective”), from Proto-Indo-European *man-ko- (“maimed in the hand”), from *man-.
