Human entity
Definition
A rare term or archaism used to denote a human individual or a primitive anthropomorphic representation; it can also appear as an independent shortened form in historical theoretical discussions regarding the evolution of higher primates toward the human stage. In modern linguistic contexts, it is used almost exclusively as a scientific combining form (prefixoid or suffixoid) in complex words.
