Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Latin manganum Proto-Indo-European *-lós Proto-Indo-European *-elós Proto-Italic *-elos Latin -lus Latin -ellus Vulgar Latin *manganellumder. Vulgar Latin *manganella Old Spanish manganilla Spanish manganilla According to Corominas-Pascual, inherited from Old Spanish manganilla (c. 1300), from Vulgar Latin *manganella, plural of *manganellum, from Latin manganum (“mangonel”) + -ellus. Less likely, according to RAE, from mangana (“lasso”), which is instead considered by Corominas-Pascual to be a back-formation from manganilla on the basis of the stress pattern (if derived from Latin, then *mángana would be expected).
