Manmen

Manmen is a term that lacks a single, widely accepted definition in formal reference works. In practice, it is used in some niche contexts to refer to humanoid beings who resemble humans but differ in size, origin, or type.

In speculative fiction and hobbyist discussions, manmen may denote a variety of concepts, including diminutive humanoid populations, humanlike constructs such as androids or golems, or other beings with human physiology that set them apart from ordinary humans. Because the term appears only sporadically in published works, definitions vary by author and context.

Etymology is uncertain; most uses treat manmen as a coined neologism blending references to 'man' and 'men' or as an allusion to diminutive humanoid forms. There is no standard origin or etymology accepted across sources.

Because of its limited and context-specific usage, readers should rely on the particular text, game, or source in which the term appears to determine its precise meaning.
