> P.S. Both "homme" and "on" in French comes from the Latin "homo".
Yes, and the derivation of “on” from “homme” was apparently inspired
by the Early German construct Mann -> man (that was maybe not spelt that
way at the time). Ironic, that now some advocate the use of “mensch” in
German to replace “man”...
