Etymology 1

From Middle English embre, eymbre, aymer, eymere, emeri, from Old English ǣmyrġe, from Proto-West Germanic *aimuʀjā, from Proto-Germanic *aimuzjǭ, a compound of *aimaz +‎ *uzjǭ. The latter is from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ews- (“to burn”). The b is intrusive and was added in English for ease of pronunciation when the vowel of the second syllable (y) disappeared.

See also Old High German eimuria (“pyre”), Danish emmer, Swedish mörja (“embers”).

Etymology

Probably a compound word. The first element is related to the base word of emse (“sow”) (originally meant “female”), which in turn is from Proto-Uralic *emä (“mother, woman”).[1][2]. The second element is either a variant of férj (“husband”) which originally meant “man” or is related to an unattested stem -ër, -ér, -ar, but in any case, the stem ultimately derives from Proto-Finno-Ugric *irkä (“man, son, boy”).[3][4]

Usage notes

  • For its use with the article az (“the”), see az ember (“one, you”, used like an indefinite, generic pronoun).
  • The word ember is gender-neutral in the biological sense, or in the plural where it can refer to a mixed group of men and women or to people in general, and also in expressions like embere válogatja (“it depends on the person”), where it is again used in a general sense. In contrast with this, when it is used in the singular to refer to one person in particular, there is a strong implication that one is probably talking about a man and not a woman, in which case egy nő (“a woman”) would sound more natural. As a generic pronoun, it has no such connotations, but even so, women sometimes colloquially use the expression az ember lánya (literally “the daughter of man”) instead, especially when talking about topics that only pertain to women in general.
