earthmann.

Brit.

/ˈəːθman/,

/ˈəːθmən/, U.S.

/ˈərθˌmæn/

Inflections: Plural earth-men.

Forms:

α. early Middle English– eorðman, 1800s– earthman.

β. 1800s earthsman.

Also (in senses 1b and 3) with capital initial.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: earth n.¹, man n.¹

Etymology: In α. forms < earth n.¹ + man n.¹ In β. forms < the genitive of earth n.¹ + man n.¹ Compare earlier world-man n.In sense 3 perhaps after bushman n., the Earthmen being so called on account of their alleged habit of living in burrows or caves, which was supposed to distinguish them from Bushmen. However, the people referred to in quot. 1853 at sense 3 come from the Orange River region of South Africa, an area inhabited by Bushmen or San. The name appears to have been influenced by South African Dutch aardmannetjie (Afrikaans erdmannetjie, with the diminutive suffix pronounced /-ki/) kind of earth spirit, goblin (compare Dutch aardmannetje (1851)), kind of meerkat (a burrowing animal, now the main sense). Compare also (rare) Dutch aardmann goblin (1829 as aardman), Afrikaans erdmann goblin, meerkat. Compare:1854 Times 1 Feb. 1/5 (advt.) The Earthmen or Erdmanniges from South Africa.a1860 London Morning Post in P. T. Barnum Earthmen or Erdmanniges in Ill. Mem. of Eventful Exped. (1860) 45 The conclusion..was, that the ‘Erdmanner’ then present were members of a race entirely distinct from the Hottentot, the Kaffir, the Bosjesman, or the Batarde.

†a. A person who lives on earth as opposed to heaven. Obsolete.
