Etymology of SHIP MAN

The word "shipman" is derived from two separate words: "ship" and "man".

1. Ship: The word "ship" can be traced back to the Old English word "scip", which has Germanic roots. It is related to the Old Norse word "skip", meaning "ship" or "vessel". This word has ancient origins and is found in several Germanic languages, such as Old High German "skif" and Dutch "schip".

2. Man: The word "man" originates from the Old English word "mann", which has Germanic roots as well. It is related to the Old Frisian "man", Old Saxon "man", and Old High German "man". All these variations essentially derive from the Proto-Germanic word "mannaz", meaning "person" or "human being".
