There is a "p" in "misanthrope" because it comes from "anthropos" which is the Greek word for "human being." As I said, above. See also anthroPology, anthroPomorphic, etc. What do they teach them in these schools?

And Guest Polaitaly is right and I was wrong: the nominative of the word for a male human being is "aner" -- "andr-" is the root which shows up in other cases and in compound words made from this word. The most obvious cognate is the name "Andrew" which means "good man."
