Etymology: Old French almanach < Medieval Latin almanachus < Hispano-Arabic almanak (almanac, calendar) > or < Arabic (ARchar, ÙÙ, ÙÙÙ) (al-manÄx, climate), possibly from Late (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).
