Brit.

/ˌvɒks hjʊˈmɑːnə/, U.S.

/ˌvɑks ˌ(h)juˈmɑnə/

Forms:

α. 1700s vox humane.

β. 1700s– vox humana.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French voix humaine; Latin vox humana.

Etymology: Originally (in α. forms) < French voix humaine (1685 or earlier denoting an organ stop; < voix voice n. + humaine , feminine of humain human adj.), with alteration of the first element after classical Latin vōx voice n. Subsequently (in β. forms) < post-classical Latin vox humana (1719 in this sense, in a German context) < classical Latin vōx voice n. + hūmāna , feminine of hūmānus human adj.

Any of various types of organ stop having an 8-foot pitch and producing a tone supposedly suggestive of the human voice, esp. its thin, undulating quality.
