duineil
Scottish Gaelic
editEtymology
editFrom duine (“man”) + -ail (adjectival suffix). Possibly from Old Irish duinemail (“humane, liberal”), which is equivalent in formation but slightly different in meaning, as Old Irish duine meant “human being”, with no specification of sex or gender. Compare Irish duiniúil (“human, natural, kindly”, adjective).
