manifestus

• manufestus

From manus (“hand”) + uncertain second element; perhaps Proto-Indo-European *dʰers- (“to be bold”), from *dʰer- (“to hold”). More at īnfestus.[1]

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ma.niˈfes.tus/, [mänɪˈfɛs̠t̪ʊs̠]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ma.niˈfes.tus/, [mäniˈfɛst̪us]
• Bennett 1907 considers the length of the "e" 'very uncertain', citing "[mani]féstvm" from C.I.L. i. p. 319 (a fragment of the Fasti Praenestini, month of December) as potential inscriptional evidence of a long vowel.[2] Spanish manifiesto cannot be an entirely inherited form, but it might be a semi-learned form with regular development of -ie- from -ĕ-. However, the Spanish form does not exclude the possibility of an original -ē- that underwent later shortening or analogical replacement, as in Spanish fiesta from Latin fēstum.
