Homonym: manual (Handbook)
The term "manual" refers to a guide or booklet that provides instructions on how to use a product or perform a task. For example, a car manual helps drivers understand the features and maintenance of their vehicle. Manuals can be found for various items, from kitchen appliances to software programs, ensuring users can operate them effectively.
In addition to written guides, "manual" can also describe tasks done by hand rather than by machines. For instance, manual labor involves physical work, such as construction or farming, where people use their strength and skills instead of relying on automated tools.
