Etymology

The term 'workmen' originated in the late 19th century, derived from the combination of 'work' and 'men'. It reflects the societal structure of that time, where manual labor was predominantly performed by men. Over the years, the term has evolved to be more inclusive, encompassing individuals of all genders engaged in manual or industrial work.
