男nán

Modern simplified form (簡體). 男 (nán, "male, man") is composed of 田 (field) and 力 (strength), picturing a person exerting force in the fields—a vivid depiction of agricultural labor that has defined the word for "man" since ancient times. This combination also appears in characters like 难 (difficult) and 舅 (maternal uncle), where the element retains its sense of male or strength.
