Related History and Etimology
Mantis (n.)
1650s, "type of insect that holds its forelegs in a praying position" (especially the praying mantis, Mantis religiosa), Modern Latin, from Greek words μάντις (mantis), used of some sort of elongated insect with long forelimbs (Theocritus), literally "one who divines, a seer, prophet," from mainesthai "be inspired," related to menos "passion, spirit," from PIE *mnyo-, suffixed form of root *men- "to think," with derivatives referring to qualities and states of mind or thought (compare mania and -mancy). Mantis also means and εἶδος (eidos) meaning "form" or "type". The insects, which live in temperate and tropical regions worldwide, are so called for its way of holding the enlarged forelimbs as if in prayer. The mantis shrimp (by 1853; earlier sea-mantis, 1690s) is so called for its resemblance to the insect. The name mantodea is was coined in 1838 by the German entomologist Hermann Burmeister. Men - Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to think," with derivatives referring to qualities and states of mind or thought. Pray (v.) Early 13c., preien, "ask earnestly, beg (someone)," also (c. 1300) in a religious sense, "pray to a god or saint," from Old French preier "to pray" (c. 900, Modern French prier), from Vulgar Latin *precare (also source of Italian pregare), from Latin precari "ask earnestly, beg, entreat," from *prex (plural preces, genitive precis) "prayer, request, entreaty," from PIE root *prek- "to ask, request, entreat." |
