almanac

English

From Old French almanach, from Medieval Latin almanachus, from Andalusian Arabic الْمَنَاخ‎ (al-manāḵ, “almanac, calendar”), from Arabic الْمُنَاخ‎ (al-munāḵ, “climate”) or Late Ancient Greek ἀλμενιχιακά (almenikhiaká, “calendar”), perhaps of Coptic origin. The middle syllable -man- may be cognate with moon and month, or else was influenced by Proto-Indo-European *mens- (“moon, month”).
