The [[English]] term "Man" (from Proto-Germanic mannaz "man, [[person]]") and [[words]] derived therefrom can designate any or even all of the human [[race]] regardless of their [[sex]] or age. This is the old usage of "Man" in English. It derives from Proto-Indo-European *mánu- 'man, human', cognate to [[Sanskrit]] manu, Old Church Slavonic mǫžĭ, 'man', 'husband'.
