Etymology

edit

    Origin unknown. Traditionally theorized to be from Proto-Indo-European *méryos (“young man”), whence Proto-Indo-Iranian *máryas (“young man”), Sanskrit मर्य (márya, “suitor, young man”), Ancient Greek μεῖραξ (meîrax, “young girl”), and Old Armenian մարի (mari, “female bird, hen”). But this cannot account for the resultant phonetics, particularly the a-vocalism.

    It has been connected with masturbor and with mālus (“pole”).[1]

    Pronunciation

    edit

    Noun

    edit

    mās m (genitive maris); third declension

    1. male
    2. man
      Synonym: vir

    Usage notes

    edit

    Mās means male, in contrast to fēmina (“female”); thus, it means man (in contrast to woman) when used in reference to an adult human, but it can also be used to refer to male animals, deities, or even plants. "Man" in the sense of “human being” is rendered by homō, and in the sense of “(free) adult male human being” by Latin vir.
