Old French

Etymology

Borrowed from Medieval Latin almanachus, from Andalusian Arabic الْمَنَاخ (al-manāḵ, “almanac, calendar”), from Arabic الْمُنَاخ (al-munāḵ, “climate”) or Late Ancient Greek ἀλμενιχιακά (almenikhiaká, “calendar”), perhaps of Coptic origin. The middle syllable -man- may be influenced by Proto-Indo-European *mḗh₁n̥s (“moon, month”).

Noun

almanach oblique singular, m (oblique plural almanachs, nominative singular almanachs, nominative plural almanach)
