Plural of drogerman; multiple men who operate or sail droger ships.
Standard English plural form of 'drogerman,' formed by changing the final syllable to '-men,' which is the traditional plural for agent nouns ending in '-man.'
The -men plural is disappearing from modern English (we say 'fishers' now instead of 'fishermen'), so drogermen is a linguistic fossil showing how occupations used to be gendered into the very grammar itself.
Plural masculine form '-men' erases female droger workers from historical record and carries implicit assumption that the role was male-dominated by nature rather than exclusion.
Use 'drogers' or 'drogery workers' as gender-neutral plural; historical texts may note 'drogermen and drogerwoman' for accuracy.
