Welcome to the largest Spanish educational and research project on the Internet. This open and editable dictionary aims to offer a tool where, on the one hand, users broaden knowledge about the different meanings that each of the words and expressions of Spanish can adopt. And, on the other hand, give the same community the ability to expand the database with new words, unknown or unregistered, or expand the different meanings that can adopt the existing words. For identical words and according to which country of the world we move, it is very frequent to find completely different uses, that is why, once the official definition is mentioned, the dictionary allows users to expand it with new meanings or nuances. In short, a dictionary edited by users and for users. Daily among all the meanings uploaded by users will select one of them as word, expression or theme of the day. This meaning will appear on the home page just after this presentation for at least 24 hours. Finally, we have made the project extensible to words from other languages ??or disciplines, you can access these dictionaries through the drop-down that appears next to the search box and the operation is identical to the main dictionary. Hoping that the use of the dictionary is to his liking we say goodbye.
Sincerely,
Spanish Working Group

I'm not sure if this is a mistake or a neologism, and in the latter case it would be very little disseminated (is there any moderately serious text that supports it? I did a quick search in books or newspapers and it didn't even appear) so it would be interesting to at least know the origin, how such a strange term was constructed. It could be for 'manliness', which has very varied definitions, from a covert machismo to a humanist perspective better integrated with rationalism, through medical voices (relating to hormonal treatments) or obsessive sexual fixations with the shoulders (128527; ); And perhaps it is because of this polysemic multiplicity that a variant such as 'manhood' has been created, which will continue to be a capricious construction but then it is almost justified. See femichism.
