Origin

Middle English: from Old French maniere, based on Latin manuarius 'of the hand', from manus 'hand'.

Latin manus ‘hand’ is ultimately the source of manner, as it is of manage and many other words, via the idea of ‘way of handling’. The first sense in English was ‘sort, kind’, followed by ‘usual practice or behaviour’, then ‘customary rules of behaviour in society’, and (in the plural) ‘polite or well-bred social behaviour’—the kind of manners that parents try to teach their children. The phrase as if to the manner born, ‘naturally at ease in a particular job or situation’, derives from a passage in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Since at least the mid 19th century this has also appeared as ‘to the manor born’, a confusion picked up in the title of the British television series To the Manor Born, first shown in 1979. See also mansion
