Etymology
Probably an original *men-stem from Proto-Indo-European *pél-mn̥ ~ *pl̥-m̥én-s which was re-formulated as if from **pél-mo-, from the root *pel- (‘to cover, wrap; skin, hide, cloth’). Cognate with Ancient Greek πέλμα (pélma) (pélma, ‘sole of the foot’), which is from the original *men-stem.
