Happened to me and it was the battery.
I think there's a relay that prevents cranking the starter if the voltage goes too low. I'm old enough to have had many cars that would start with a weak battery - barely cranks over but it DOES crank. This relay disabling the starter is so much different from that experience that I didn't recognize it as a battery BEGINNING to go weak.
My vote for a manual transmission: It was easy to start with a short roll & pop the clutch!
