Manu + script = Manuscript। पुराने ज़माने में 'मनु' हर script हाथ से लिखते थे, आज हम typing करते हैं। Manu = हाथ (manual में भी), इसलिए हाथ से लिखी किताब = manuscript।

Read it as MANU + SCRIPT: in olden days 'Manu' wrote every script by hand, while today we type. MANU means hand (as in manual), so a manuscript is a book or paper written by hand.
