 The Mavens' Word of the Day
Mensch is borrowed from Yiddish mentsh 'a human being; person', itself from the Middle High German word that is the source of Modern German Mensch.
The root is ultimately the same as the root of English man (the suffix is from an ancestor of the -ish 'being; belonging to; characteristic of', as in British or boyish).
Mensch has even been defined as a "he-man," which is most definitely not the word's usual sense.
