| 释义 | manly (once / 364 pages) adjadv Someone who's manly acts in a typically masculine way. If you live in a log cabin, split your own wood, and occasionally scare away bears, go ahead and call yourself manly. Manly attributes are usually heroic ones like bravery and strength.

In the thirteenth century, this adjective simply meant "characteristic of a human."
