Is the word human from two words hue and man?

No, the word "human" is not derived from the words "hue" and "man".

The word "human" comes from the Latin word "humanus", which means "of or belonging to mankind". The word "hue" has a different origin, coming from the Old Norse word "hugi" meaning "mind, spirit".

While the association with "hue" and "man" might seem appealing, it's just a coincidence of similar-sounding words with unrelated origins.
