MENopause: Why This Word begins with “MEN”?

Searching in Webster’s dictionary for the definition of the word “menopause”, and you’ll find that it’s deriving from the French noun “ménopause”, from méno: meaning “men”, and pause: meaning “to stop”. Anyone wish to place a wager that a man came up with this word?

Men, like women, experience complex hormonal rhythms that affect their mood, their physical well-being, and their sexuality:

* Emotional symptoms include irritability, worry, indecisiveness, and depression.
* Physical symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, short-term memory loss, and sleep disturbances.
* Sexual symptoms include reduced libido, fear of sexual failure, and increased desire to prove he can still perform by seeking a younger partner.
