Etymology
Old French almanach < Medieval Latin almanachus < Hispano-Arabic almanak (almanac, calendar) > or < Arabic ARchar|��اخ|ا���اخ (al-man�x, climate), possibly from Late Gr. αλμενι�ιακά (calendar), probably ultimately of Coptic origin. Possibly the central syllable -man- is cognate with moon and month, or else was influenced by Proto-Indo-European *me(n)ses- (moon, month) < PIE base *me- (to measure).
