Suited office workers
Businessmen is the plural of businessman—men engaged in commerce, trade, or corporate enterprise.
The term typically suggests executives, entrepreneurs, or professionals in suits making deals: The restaurant filled with businessmen at lunch.
Though businessman remains common, many now prefer the gender-neutral businessperson or businesspeople when referring to mixed groups.
