From モテない (motenai, “unpopular”) + 男 (“man; male”). Attested from the 2000s. The negative of 持てる (moteru, “be popular”), モテない (motenai), was shortened to モ (mo) and was assigned the kanji 喪 (mo, “mourning”). (This etymology is missing or incomplete.

- Written 喪男, read as modan. Originally internet slang meaning “unpopular man”, but rather than “unpopular man” the author redefines it as “a man who refuses to be popular”. Plato, Descartes, Nietzsche, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Marx... there have been many such great unpopular men in philosophy and the world of ideas.
