== English == === Etymology === {{compound|maintenance|hole}} The first word may have been chosen partly to preserve the same initials as [[manhole]]. === Noun === {{en-noun}} # [[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.
