Dutch word 'mannekijn', the diminutive.form
of man; consider the fact that man in Dutch, as in English, has often been
used to mean 'person'; in Modern Dutch the word has specialized sense of
'an artist's jointed model' and this was the sense in which we adopted
the word first recorded in 1570; the word borrowed from Dutch now has the
form 'manikin'; English later adopted the French version of the Dutch word
as well, giving English 'mannequin' and this is considered to be first
recorded in a dictionary published from 1730 to 1736 or in 1902, depending
on whether one regards early forms showing French influence as variants
of 'manikin' or as representations of a new word; in
any event 'mannequin' is now the form most commonly encountered and
the one commonly used for a department store dummy as well as a live model

Morse code.proper
noun
morse is a code
used for sending messages; how it works is each letter of the alphabet.uses
short and long sounds or flashes of light, which can be written down or
sent electrically as dots and dashes, punctuation
marks and spaces; either of
two codes used for transmitting
messages in which letters of the
alphabet and numbers are represented
by various.sequences
of dots and dashes or short and long
signals,
the two codes being the Morse code and the simpler and more precise
International Morse Code, which accommodates
letters used in forming words from other languages, often have diacritic
markings such as in the word Gröning; morse codes are transmitted
as electrical pulses of varied
lengths or analogous.mechanical
or visual signals, such as flashing
lights; the original Morse Code was inadequate
for the transmission of much non-English text, since it lacked
codes for letters with these diacritic marks; this morse code variant called
International Morse Code was devised by a conference of European nations
in 1851 and is also called the Continental Morse Code; being simpler the
International Morse Code uses combinations of dots and short dashes for
all letters, including those with diacritic marks and in addition, the
International Morse Code uses dashes of constant length rather than the
variable lengths used in the original Morse Code
