Surface Forms

manosphere singular
manospheres plural

Morphology

manosphere = man + sphere (transparent) = man + sphere

Composed of 'man' + 'sphere' (the productive '-sphere' meaning an area or domain), so the meaning 'sphere/space of men' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word manosphere comes from man and sphere, and the sphere part means 'area' or 'space', like in blogosphere. So, it names the online 'space' where men talk about men's issues and where you often find anti-feminist or negative views about women.
