What makes man a man? What does man want? What purpose does man have? What connection does man have to woman? Is man? Or isn't man? There is man-y questions to be answered. But does one require man?

Why is man you ask?

Well that is hard to answer concidering the fact that Man derives from Proto-Germanic and it meant literally “person”, that is, it could refer to both man and woman. Woman, on the other hand, derives from Wif or wifman. What was used to refer to man with its sense of today is wer or werman. That this hits the right spot is confirmed by the survival of wer in werewolf (literally man-wolf).

Wifmen, in the course of language development, lost the “f” and became wimman until it reached us as woman. werman, didn’t just lose the “r”, like what happened with the “f” in wifmen. Following the Norman conquest, the whole “wer” was gone, and it became man.

So basically the title of the thread should be changed to Why Is Human? :rofl2:

Man is 1/2 of human reproduction system. Without man no human life. Very serious!
