ἄνθρωπον
ánthrōpos
man
A human being; an individual of the human species. The word denotes a person as a member of humanity, irrespective of gender, status, or other distinctions (in contrast to terms focusing on maleness or femaleness or national identity). In extended usage, it can refer to people collectively, mankind, or humankind. The primary sense emphasizes the universal nature of the human condition, as opposed to divine or animal realms. In some legal or formal contexts, it may refer to a specific person or individual.

person
