or:human (adj.) mid-15c., humain, humaigne, \"human,\" from Old French humain, umain (adj.) \"of or belonging to man\" (12c.), from Latin humanus \"of man, human,\" also \"humane, philanthropic, kind, gentle, polite; learned, refined, civilized.\" This is in part from PIE *(dh)ghomon-, literally \"earthling, earthly being,\" as opposed to the gods (from root *dhghem- \"earth\"), but there is no settled explanation of the sound changes involved. Compare Hebrew adam \"man,\" from adamah \"ground.\" Cognate with Old Lithuanian \u017emuo (accusative \u017emuni) \"man, male person.\" www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=humanI never ran across any of this, so I had to look it up.
