human

human
human Adj "menschenwürdig" erw. fremd. Erkennbar fremd (17. Jh.) Entlehnung. Entlehnt aus l. hūmānus, zu l. homo "Mensch" (die Lautverhältnisse sind aber unklar). Abstraktum: Humanität; Adjektiv: humanitär. Da das damit verknüpfte antike Lebensideal mit der Wiederaufnahme antiker Studien (seit dem 14. Jh.) in den Vordergrund gestellt wurde, kann die Täterbezeichnung Humanist und das Adjektiv humanistisch einfach "auf das Studium der alten Sprachen bezogen" bedeuten.
   Ebenso nndl. humaan, ne. human(e), nfrz. humain, nschw. human, nnorw. human. Das lateinische Wort wird als "Irdischer" zu einem Wort für "Erde" (l. hūmus) gestellt; zur germanischen Entsprechung s. Bräutigam. S. auch Homunculus (Homunkulus) und Lomber.
