snowman
UK: ˈsnəʊmæn | US: ˈsnoʊmæn
n. a figure resembling a human, made of packed snow, typically created by rolling large snowballs and stacking them
The word "snowman" is a straightforward compound of "snow" (from Old English "snāw," meaning frozen water crystals) and "man" (from Old English "mann," meaning a person). It emerged in English to describe the playful winter tradition of shaping snow into human-like figures. The logic is transparent: a "man" (figure) made of "snow." The term reflects the creative and seasonal nature of the object.
