What does NONMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A being that is not a man; a non-human or otherwise non-male figure.
Writers reach for nonman when they need a single word for a creature, machine, or entity that stands apart from human beings altogether, rather than simply meaning woman. The word is built by attaching the negative prefix non- directly to man, the same pattern seen in nonstop or nonstick, and it stays rare enough that most readers meet it only in science fiction, fantasy, or philosophical writing about what separates humanity from everything else. Its plural, nonmen, follows the same irregular pattern as men rather than adding a regular ending.
