Etymology of MANCO

The word "manco" originates from the Latin term "mancus", which means "maimed", "handicapped", or "defective". In turn, "mancus" is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*man" which conveys the concept of loss or damage. Over time, the Spanish language adopted "manco" from Latin, preserving its essential meaning of "having a missing limb" or "limbless". Today, "manco" is commonly used in several Romance languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, to refer to someone who is physically or functionally impaired in one or more limbs.
