Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 男人 (nánrén) for "man" is composed of two characters: 男 (nán), meaning "male", and 人 (rén), meaning "person". The character 男 is a pictograph depicting a man standing with his arms outstretched, while the character 人 is a pictograph depicting a person standing with their arms at their sides. Together, the two characters form the compound word 男人, which literally means "male person". This word is used to refer to adult male humans, as opposed to women or children.
