mainourn.

/ˈmanə/, U.S.

/ˈmeɪnər/,

/ˈmænər/

Forms: late Middle English menour, late Middle English menoure, late Middle English menowr, late Middle English menure, late Middle English 1600s manor, 1500s manuvre (in an Irish source), 1500s mayner, 1500s maynure, 1500s–1600s maynour, 1500s–1700s maner, 1500s– mainour, 1500s– manner, 1600s manoir, 1600s–1700s manour, 1600s–1700s meinor, 1600s–1700s meinour, 1600s–1700s meinoure.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French meinoure.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman meinoure, meinovre, main overe handiwork, theft, stolen goods < post-classical Latin manopera (see manoeuvre n.²; 13th cent. as singular manum opus, manuopus in British sources in the sense ‘stolen goods’).Anglo-Norman texts have both (pris , etc.) en meinoure and ové meinoure , both approximately ‘caught in the act’, although in the latter case presumably literally with the concrete sense of sense 1; compare post-classical Latin captus cum manuopere (1260). The expressions perhaps originated as renderings of Old English æt hæbbendre handa gefangen (see hand-habend adj. and n.). For the development of sense from ‘handiwork’ to ‘theft’ compare classical Latin manuārius (adjective) operated by hand and manuārius (noun) a thief. Since the 16th cent. frequently assimilated in form to manner n.

Now historical.
