maintenance hole
English
Etymology
maintenance + hole The first word may have been chosen partly to preserve the same initials as manhole.
Usage notes
- This is apparently a response to the perceived sexism of the word manhole, and has completely replaced it in contexts where this issue is considered important, such as in many government documents.
