Mansplain
This verb is used to refer to the act of a man explaining something to a woman needlessly and in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic.
Origin:
A word coined in the 21st Century, it combines the words man and explain. It is said that the form ‘splain, to mean explain, has been used at least since the 1960s as a colloquialism. The word is said to have gained popularity after Rebecca Solnits 2008 essay “Men Explain Things to Me”, in which she points out to the condescension without actually using the word mansplaining.
Example:
It was good that he did not mansplain tennis to her.
