every man

The typical individual

Every man, as two words, means each individual man or each person: Every man must decide for himself.

The phrase emphasizes universality—no exceptions.

It differs from the single word "everyman," which refers to an ordinary, typical person representing humanity in general.

Every man in the room stood when she entered.
