Etymology of ancymon
Uncertain. Possibly a clipping of malimończyk, marymontczyk (“student/professor/baked good from Marymont”), itself probably from French Mariemont (“Mount Mary”), where the element was influenced by a dialectal pronunciation of the prefix anty- (dialectally ancy-), which often has a negative connotation, with sound changes being marymontczyk > marymon > ancymon. First attested in 1914. Compare Belarusian манцымонтка (mancymóntka, “coquette”), Belarusian малімонік (malimónik, “someone cuddly; someone with sweet tooth; someone capricious”), Ukrainian анцимонек (ancymonek), манцимонек (mancymonek, “an untrustworthy man”).
