About

The word "男子" is formed by combining the character "男", meaning male and historically composed of the radicals "田" (field) and "力" (strength), with the character "子", which primarily means child but in this context acts as a nominal suffix to denote a person, resulting in a compound that specifically refers to a man or male individual.
