Definition of mane

manenoun

bờm

/meɪn//meɪn/

The word "mane" originated from the Old French word "mene," which was derived from the Latin word "mansa," meaning "long hair." In the 14th century, the term "mane" specifically referred to the long hair of a lion, from the Old French "le mane de lyon," or the "lion's mane." Over time, the term broadened to describe the hair on the back of a horse or other animals, as well as human hair. In English, the word "mane" is still commonly used to describe the hair on a lion's head, but it can also refer to the hair on other animals or even a person's hairstyle.
