Where this word comes from

From Middle Dutch men, an unstressed variety of man (“man”). Accordingly, originally pronounced with [ə]; now predominantly with a full vowel [ɛ], a spelling pronunciation common especially in those areas where the word is chiefly literary. Compare German man, Low German men, Middle English men (indefinite pronoun).
