[edit] French

[edit] Etymology

From Old French hom, reduced form of Old French homme "man", used pronominally (a calque of the Frankish indefinite pronoun *man "one"; cf German man, reduced pronomial form of Mann "man"). The etymon itself stems from Latin hominem, accusative form of homō (“‘man’”), but its use as a pronoun is of Germanic origin. Confer Old English man "one, they, people" (reduced form of Old English mann "man, person"); German man "one, they, people"; Dutch men "one, they, people"
