magyar

Borrowed from Hungarian magyar.

• IPA^(key): /ma.ʒjaʁ/

magyar (feminine singular magyare, masculine plural magyars, feminine plural magyares)

1. Hungarian

• “magyar” in le Trésor de la langue française informatisé (The Digitized Treasury of the French Language).

From Old Hungarian mogyër.

• The first element (mogy-) is likely from Proto-Ugric *mańć- (“man, person”), also found in the name of the Mansi (mäńćī, mańśi, måńś). This may be an Indo-Iranian borrowing (compare Sanskrit मनुष्य (manuṣyá)) or may derive from Proto-Uralic *mënɜ- (“to say”).
• The second element, -ër (“man”), retained in ember (“man”) and férj (“husband”), is cognate with Mari erɣǝ, erɣe (“son, boy”) and Finnish yrkö (“man”). It is from Proto-Uralic *irkä or *ürkä (“man, son, boy”).

• IPA^(key): [ˈmɒɟɒr]
