masc nom sg of nara (noun)
Etymology. From Indo-European *ǵneh₂- 'to beget, bear offspring': Sanskrit nara- 'man' (literally 'progenitor'), Greek anēr (gen andros) 'man', Latin nero 'beget' (archaic). The word originally denoted a male capable of procreation. Related to Greek genos 'race, kind' and Latin genus. Pali preserves the older sense of 'man' as a being distinguished by procreative power and social role.
