An old or gray-haired man; a man of advanced age or experience, especially one with grizzled or gray hair.
Compound of grizzly (gray-haired) and man. This is a historical term that emerged in English to distinguish older men by their most visible characteristic.
Before modern age descriptors like 'senior' or 'elder,' languages used physical characteristics — grizzlyman tells you the man's age just by looking at his hair!
