мужчина
Russian
Мужчи́на
Etymology
Attested since the 16th century as мущи́на (muščína); the word is still pronounced in a way that is directly rendered by this outdated spelling, but the current spelling more explicitly displays the etymology and the even older Slavic sound structure. From Old East Slavic *мѫжьщина (*mǫžĭščina), from Proto-Slavic *mǫžьščina, from *mǫžьskъ + *-ina, from *mǫžь + *-ьskъ. Equivalent to мужско́й (mužskój) + -ина (-ina).
Pronunciation
