A male worker or specialist employed in the manufacturing of cans or in managing canned goods.
A compound of 'can' and 'man,' following the traditional naming convention for male occupations. Common in industrial contexts from the late 1800s onward.
In early 20th-century factories, canmen represented a new working class—not farmers or craftspeople, but factory workers whose labor kept entire cities fed.
