The word "human" traces back to Latin hūmānus, derived from homō (man) and humus (earth). This reflects the ancient belief that humans were created from clay or earth, a concept found in many mythologies (e.g., the Biblical story of Adam). The suffix -an denotes relation, forming an adjective meaning "of or pertaining to mankind." Over time, hūmānus evolved into Old French humain and Middle English humayne, eventually becoming "human." The root emphasizes humanity’s earthly origins and distinguishes humans from divine or animal beings.
