Old French

Etymology

Borrowed 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 influenced by Proto-Indo-European *mḗh₁n̥s (“moon, month”).
