The term "manhole" originates from the combination of "man" and "hole," referring to a hole in the ground that is large enough for a person to enter. It has been used since the late 19th century, reflecting a time when the workforce was predominantly male. The term has faced criticism for its gendered language, leading to discussions about alternative terms like "access hole" or "maintenance hole." However, "manhole" remains the standard designation in many regions.
