The KJV renders 25 different Hebrew and Greek words as “man”

What it means

a man as an individual or a male person; often used as an adjunct to a more definite term (and in such cases frequently not expressed in translation)

contracted for H582 (אֱנוֹשׁ) (or perhaps rather from an unused root meaning to be extant);

How the KJV renders it

also, another, any, a certain, consent, each, every, fellow, foot, husbandman, good, great, mighty man, high, him, husband, man, one, people, person, what soever, whoso, worthy compare h802

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
