Etymology
The French adjective **personnel** comes from Latin *persona*, meaning “mask, character, or person,” with the suffix *‑alis* that forms adjectives. In Latin *personalis* (pertaining to a person) entered French as *personnel* in the 15th c., borrowing the English form *personal* and retaining the sense “relating to an individual.” The word has remained essentially unchanged since then.
