Morphology

manscape = man + landscape (semi-transparent) = man + landscape

This is a humorous blend based on man + landscape, and the grooming sense is only partly predictable from the body-as-landscape metaphor.

Etymology

Manscape combines man and landscape, which helps you picture 'shaping' body hair the way you shape a garden. To manscape is to groom or remove body hair so it looks neater and more attractive.
