manhandlev.

Brit.

/ˈmanhandl/,

/ˌmanˈhandl/, U.S.

/ˈmænˌhændəl/

Forms: see man n.¹ and handle v.¹

Origin: Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: mangle v.¹

Etymology: Perhaps originally a variant of mangle v.¹ (compare modern regional manghangle , manangle to mangle or confuse ( Eng. Dial. Dict.)), but in all quots. as if < man n.¹ + handle v.¹, and in senses 2 and 3 evidently taken to be so. In modern use in sense 1 perhaps a development from sense 3. N.E.D. (1905) gives only the pronunciation with primary stress on the second syllable.

1. transitive. Now somewhat colloquial. †(a) To attack (an enemy). Obsolete. (b) More generally: to handle roughly; to assault, maul, or beat up (a person; occasionally spec. a woman).
