词源

Inherited from Middle English manrede, manred, from Old English manrǣden (“dependence, homage, service, tribute, due”), equivalent to man + -red and a doublet of manrent. The expected Modern English form would be mandred (like kindred < Middle English kynrede), but the loss of the term from the spoken vernacular has arrested its normal phonological development (this also accounts for the pronunciation /ˈmænɹɛd/).
