释义

black mann.

Brit. /ˈblak man/, U.S. /ˈblæk ˌmæn/
Inflections: Plural black men.
Forms: see black adj. and n. and man n.1
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: black adj., man n.1
Etymology: < black adj. + man n.1Earlier currency (in sense ‘dark-haired or swarthy man’) is perhaps implied by the Old English personal name Blæcmon, Blæcmann. Also attested as a surname in early Middle English: John Blakeman (1206), Henry Blacman (1279), etc.
1. A dark-skinned man, esp. a man of sub-Saharan African or Australian Aboriginal origin or descent. Also: †a dark-haired or swarthy man (obsolete). Cf. black adj. 3a.
