NounEdit

mas m (invariable)

LatinEdit

EtymologyEdit

Origin unknown. Traditionally theorized to be from Proto-Indo-European *méryos (“young man”) [whence Sanskrit मर्य (marya, “suitor, young man”), Ancient Greek μεῖραξ (meîrax), and Old Armenian մարի (mari)], but this cannot account for the resultant phonetics, particularly the a-vocalism.

PronunciationEdit

NounEdit

mās m (genitive maris); third declension

  1. man, male

Usage notesEdit

"Man" in the sense of “human being” is rendered by homō, and in the sense of “(free) adult male human being” by Latin vir. Mās means male (in contrast to female, fēmina), and therefore when used in reference to an adult human means man (in contrast to woman).

DeclensionEdit

Third-declension noun (i-stem).

Case Singular Plural
Nominative mās marēs
Genitive maris marium
