Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French mansion.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman mansion dwelling, abode, action of abiding, staying, Middle French, French mansion dwelling, stopping place, stay (1155 in Old French), apartment (13th cent. in Old French), astrological mansion (13th cent. in Old French), stopping place (in biblical context, 14th cent.), post or relay on a major route (perhaps referring to classical antiquity, 1596) < classical Latin mansiōn- , mansiō the fact of remaining or staying, a dwelling or place where one stays, especially a stopping place on a journey, also a day's journey < mans- , past participial stem of manēre to stay (see remain v.) + -iō -ion suffix1. The sense ‘home, house, place of residence’ became frequent in post-classical Latin, especially in France, its reflex maison maison n. being the usual word in this sense in Old French; mansion is a 12th-cent. learned borrowing of the same Latin word. Among other post-classical Latin senses are a hide of land (from 8th cent. in British sources, beside mansus , etc.: see manse n.), an astrological mansion (from 8th cent. and 13th cent. respectively in British sources in spec. senses below), and an ecclesiastical residence (from 12th cent. in British sources, beside mansum , etc.: see manse n.). Compare Italian mansione (13th cent.), Spanish mansión (1440), Portuguese mansão (16th cent.).Compare the development of senses of Arabic manzil ( < nazala dismount, alight) from ‘stopping place’ (compare manzil n.) to ‘house’ and ‘lunar phase.’ With the Middle English forms, compare Anglo-Norman mansion , mansioun , mansiun , Old French mansion (12th cent.), mancion , mantion (both 13th cent.), Middle French mencion (15th cent.). At sense 5a, Tyndale translates, and Rolle may be influenced by, the Vulgate version of John 14:2, in domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt : the Greek text has μοναί , plural of ancient Greek μονή abiding, tarrying, stopping place < ancient Greek μένειν (see remain v.), which is not only close in meaning to classical Latin mansiō , but also cognate with it. With phrases at senses 3a and 6 compare Old French, Middle French faire mansion, prendre maison in senses ‘stay for a time’ and also ‘make a permanent residence’.
I. A large house or other building; a dwelling place, a stopping place.
1.
a. Originally: the chief residence of a lord, the capital messuage of a manor, a manor house. Later: any large or stately residence; (U.S.) the residence of the president or a state governor (frequently in governor's mansion).
