Noun
The word is derived from ploughman
...when I am told that my ploughmen are capable citizens, it seems to me ridiculous to say that educated women are not just as capable. A good deal of the political battle of the future will be a conflict between religion and unbelief: & the women will in that controversy be on the right side. Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury
