What do you mean? It's perhaps the most apt analogy I can think of. In the strictest literal sense, physiological care is a flesh mechanic servicing your flesh parts. The main difference here is a matter of scope, but that is the point of analogies; to reframe a thought in a smaller and comprehensible way.
Only way we could stay 1:1 is if the discussion is solely populated with qualified medical professionals and not a mix of differently educated laypeople.
Laypeople is the time-honored term unless you're specifically referring to men. Although in certain religious contexts, "the laity" is preferred.
Laypeople is a very new term. Layman is the time honored term, because people think -man means male. Werelay and wyflay would be gendered terms specifically referring to men or women, layman is ungendered.
In recent times we've changed the meaning of the suffix -man to be synonymous with the prefix were-.
It's a shame, because it implies we were something we weren't (re: sexism in that part of language) - but I am not defending the stance of not changing it. Just be aware: it's new.
In the UCC it's been around since the 1960s. So have I, and I'm old.
Yes, new.
I absolutely agree, thank you for the spot check. Old dog got stuck in muscle memory before coffee. Editing.
