ἄνθρωπον
ánthrōpos

A human being; an individual of the human species.

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.
