Inflections: Plural frogmen.

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

Etymology: < frog n.¹ + man n.¹, so called on account of their frog-like appearance when wearing flippers, breathing apparatus, and a rubber suit (compare quot. 1945²). In sense 2 either developed from sense 1, or arising independently on account of the appearance of a worker wearing such a suit.

1. Originally: a diver (esp. a male one) trained to carry out underwater operations for the armed forces, as reconnaissance, demolition, and sabotage; (in later use also) any diver, esp. one trained to carry out tasks under water.
