the.com/manhood

means The state or qualities of being an adult male — maturity, and the courage, responsibility, or strength traditionally bundled with it.

from Built from 'man' plus the suffix '-hood,' an old Germanic ending that means 'state' or 'condition' (you see it in 'childhood,' 'brotherhood,' 'likelihood'). 'Hood' once stood alone in Old English as a word for condition or rank before it shrank into a mere suffix — so 'manhood' literally means 'the condition of being a man.' The word is old, dating back to Middle English, and has always carried both a plain, biological sense and a loaded, earn-it-every-day moral one.
