MANNED Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "manned" is primarily used as an adjective and is derived from the verb "man." It refers to an action or state in which human beings are actively involved, usually indicating that a task or operation is being carried out by individuals of the male gender, although it is now commonly used as a gender-neutral term. The term "manned" is often associated with activities involving control, piloting, or operating various types of machinery, vehicles, or equipment. It emphasizes the requirement or presence of human intervention or guidance, in contrast to those that are performed autonomously or by automated systems.

    "Manned" can be particularly relevant in describing manned missions into space, indicating that human astronauts are on board a spacecraft or are participating in the exploration of celestial bodies. The term can also be employed in the context of manned aircraft, indicating that a human pilot is controlling and guiding the flight. Furthermore, it can be used in various other domains, such as manned submarines, manned vehicles, or manned stations, indicating that these devices or facilities require human presence or involvement for their proper operation.

    In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on gender inclusivity, leading to a more widespread usage of the term "manned" to encompass both genders. This reflects a greater recognition of the contributions and capabilities of individuals of all genders in tasks traditionally associated with the term.
