Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Probably partly formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Latin longimanus , -ous suffix; longi- comb. form, bimanous adj., quadrimanous adj.

Etymology: In sense 1 < post-classical Latin longimanus far-reaching (4th cent.; < classical Latin longi- longi- comb. form + manus hand: see manus n.¹) + -ous suffix. In sense 2 probably < longi- comb. form + -manous (in e.g. bimanous adj., quadrimanous adj., etc.); compare post-classical Latin and scientific Latin longimanus (1705 or earlier designating a species of crab, early 19th cent. as a specific name of mammals).
