What does AIRMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A man who serves as a pilot or crew member of an aircraft, especially a member of an air force, or more loosely any aviator.
In several air forces, airman is also a specific junior rank, held before a member is promoted further, so the word can mean either any member of the air force or one holding that particular lowest grade. Outside the military, airman has long been used more loosely for anyone who flies, echoing the way sailor is used for anyone who sails. Modern military usage increasingly favors the gender-neutral aviator or airperson, but airman remains common in historical writing and in official rank names.
How AIRMAN is used
Common in military and aviation contexts, both as a general term for an air-force member and as a specific junior rank.
- The airman checked his parachute before the flight.
- He enlisted as an airman straight out of school.
- A young airman guided the plane across the tarmac.
- The medal was awarded posthumously to the airman.
- Veterans recalled the airman's courage during the raid.
