===Alternative forms===
* {{alt|gmw-cfr|un||widely in free variation}}
* {{alt|gmw-cfr|en||some western dialects}}

===Etymology===
The native form in most dialects was {{inh|gmw-cfr|goh|indi}}, whence the variant {{m|gmw-cfr||en}}. In parts of the Eifel, this {{m|goh||indi}} regularly becomes {{m|gmw-cfr||on}} (compare {{cog|lb|an}}). In southern and eastern dialects, on the other hand, {{m|gmw-cfr||on}} may have been inherited from the Old High German variant {{m|goh|unde}} ({{m|goh|unti}}). From these two groups of dialects, the form will have spread, without doubt under influence of {{der|gmw-cfr|de|und}}.

{{inh+|fr|fro|hom}}, {{m|fro|om}} (nominative form), from {{inh|fr|la|homō||human being}} (compare {{m|fr|homme}} from the Old French oblique form {{m|fro|home}}, from the Latin accusative form {{m|la|hominem}}). Its pronominal use is of {{cog|gem}} origin. Compare {{cog|ang|man||one, they, people}}, reduced form of {{cog|ang|mann||person}}; {{cog|ca|hom}}; {{cog|de|man||one, they, people}}; {{cog|nl|men||one, they, people}}. In the second sense, meaning "we", also compare the development {{noncog|ms|kita orang||we (incl.) + person}} and the dialectal forms found in eastern Indonesia: ''kitorang'', ''kitong'', ''torang''.

====Usage notes====
* In informal and standard conversational French, {{m|fr|on}} has almost completely replaced the pronoun {{m|fr|nous||we}} to indicate that a sentence or clause has a  first-person plural as its subject. However, {{m|fr||nous}} is still favored in formal writing and speech, and is still used colloquially as a disjunctive reinforcing nominative {{m|fr||on}}, as well as to indicate direct and indirect objects. It may be used for reflexive objects, but as this is potentially ambiguous, these are also indicated with the reflexive pronoun {{m|fr|se}} — especially with reinforcement from disjunctive {{m|fr|nous}}, which clarifies that the speaker means "we" and not "one," i.e. a generalized indefinite subject. This clarification can also be achieved by the use of {{m|fr|tous}}.
*: {{uxi|fr|On est toujours là.|We're still here.}}
*: {{uxi|fr|Nous, on s'y fait.|We get used to it.}}
*: {{uxi|fr|On connait tous la chanson qu'elle chante.|We all know which song she is singing.}}
*: {{uxi|fr|Nous, on l'a tous vu.|We all saw it.}}
* The verb is always conjugated in the third-person singular, but if the pronoun refers to a first-person plural, the attribute agrees in gender and number.
*: {{uxi|fr|On est venu ici.|One came here.}}
*: {{uxi|fr|On y est allé'''s''' / allé'''es'''.|We went there.}}
*: {{uxi|fr|On est prêt'''s''' / prêt'''es'''.|We are ready.}}
* The variant {{m|fr|l'on}} is used in more formal or literary contexts. Some use it especially after {{m|fr|que}} ({{m|fr||que l'on}}) to avoid the contraction {{m|fr|qu'on}}, which is homophonous with the vulgar word {{m|fr|con}}.
