  Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A man is a male human, in contrast to an adult female, who is a woman.
The term man (irregular plural: men) is usually used for an adult, with the term boy being the term for a child.
In the 20th century, the generic meaning of man declined still further (but survives in compounds mankind, everyman, no-man's land, etc), and it is possible that future generations will see it as totally archaic, and use it solely to mean "adult male".
