mango

== English == === Alternative forms === manga (obsolete) === Etymology === Borrowed from Portuguese manga, from Malayalam മാങ്ങ (māṅṅa) / Tamil மாங்காய் (māṅkāy), possibly via Malay mangga, ultimately from Proto-South Dravidian *mām-kāy (“unripe mango”), a compound of *mām (“mango tree”) + *kāy (“unripe fruit”). First used for the fruit as early as the 1580s and the tree by the 1670s. The etymology of the -o ending is not certain. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈmæŋɡəʊ/ (Standard Southern British) IPA(key): /ˈmaŋɡəw/ (General American) (without æ-raising) IPA(key): /ˈmæŋɡoʊ/ (æ-raising) IPA(key): /ˈmeɪŋɡoʊ/ (General Australian) IPA(key): /ˈmæŋɡəʉ̯/ (New Zealand) IPA(key): /ˈmɛŋɡɐʉ̯/ (Scotland) IPA(key): /ˈmaŋɡo/ (Wales, without the toe–tow merger) IPA(key): /ˈmaŋɡoː/ Rhymes: -æŋɡəʊ Hyphenation: man‧go === Noun === mango (countable and uncountable, plural mangoes or mangos) Any of species Mangifera indica of tropical Asian fruit trees.

Buck suggests that Latin mangō is a loanword based (ultimately or otherwise) on the Greek noun. Alternatively, derived from manus (“hand”) via an unattested verb such as *manicō or *manigō (“handle, manage; trade, deal?”) (both requiring an unusual syncope of the verb suffix, the former also requiring an unusual voicing of /k/) +‎ -ō (agent noun suffix). This would make it related to manceps (“purchaser; contractor”) and mancipium (“property, slave”), whence perhaps the sense of “slave-trader”. The semantic trajectory would be similar to that of German handeln (“to handle; to trade, deal”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *handuz (“hand”). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈmaŋ.ɡoː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈmaŋ.ɡo] === Noun === mangō m (genitive mangōnis); third declension dealer, monger in slaves or wares (to which he tries to give an appearance of greater value by adorning them) ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun. ==== Derived terms ==== mangōnicō mangōnicus mangōnium mangōnizō ==== Descendants ==== →⇒ Proto-West Germanic: *mangārī (see there for further descendants) === References === “mango”, in Charlton T.
