Etymology
Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese mão (“hand”), from Latin manus (“hand”), 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 a Proto-Indo-European *mon-u- (see the Proto-Italic entry). Cognate with Galician man, Spanish mano, Catalan mà, Occitan man, French main, Italian mano and Romanian mână. See: Old Portuguese Nouns '
