Word origin
The word 'man' originated from the Old English word 'mann' which referred to a human being. Over time, it evolved to specifically denote an adult human male. The term has been used for centuries to distinguish between male and female individuals, reflecting societal norms and gender roles. In modern times, there has been a shift towards gender-neutral language, but 'man' remains a commonly used term to refer to adult males.
